When our designer, Gwynn, created NeedlePaint\u2019s Beatrix Potter Collection<\/a>,<\/strong> I could not wait to stitch something. This collection is the epitome of sweet and classic, and the perfect homage to Beatrix Potter\u2019s outstanding work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After burning out with several larger projects recently, I wanted something smaller with different finishing potential, so I picked out the Peter Rabbit Stand Up Kit<\/strong><\/a>. I requested to have the design printed on 14-count canvas\u2014something we are always happy to do!\u2014which changed the overall size to 5.2″ x 10\u201d. In addition, when I received the canvas, I drew a rounded top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew I wanted to focus on texture and keep my stitches simple,
so I headed to my local needlepoint shop (Stitch in Louisville, KY)
and they assisted me in pulling lots of different fibers based on the canvas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s fur: Petite Very Velvet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s jacket: Silk & Ivory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face details: DMC Perle Cotton #3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grass: DMC Perle Cotton #3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background: Vineyard Wool<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I completed the foreground entirely in the basketweave stitch, but I am
impressed with how different each section appears in person because of the fiber type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used my favorite old faithful background stitch: diagonal mosaic!
I love this stitch for its full coverage, but also its simplicity and quickness to stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While NeedlePaint does not (yet!) offer stand-up finishing,
I was able to finish it through my local needlepoint shop,
and will treasure this for years to come \u2014

especially every Easter!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
