I worked with Susan Segalla\u00a0a few months ago, to resize two of her photos of her kats (Josie and Tinker) to make into 12 x 12 needlepoint cat pillows<\/a>. \u00a0She ordered two needlepoint canvases<\/a>. \u00a0We discussed removing the background, but she thought it would be no problem for her to stitch over it.\u00a0 See the image below, it was 10″ high, but we changed the “Advanced Settings” so the canvas would be 14 x 14.<\/p>\n

Look how great Susan’s pillow looks!\u00a0 She found a great brown rope trim, and matching faux sweud backing, but the other thing I love are the whiskers!\u00a0 She made them from paint brush bristles.\u00a0 If you are looking to make a needlepoint pillow, Peggy wrote a blog about needlepoint pillows<\/a> that would be good to read.<\/p>\n
