The Spring Door
One of my favorite things about needlepoint is watching the canvas come to life. The first picture is the Spring Door which is almost finished. Once I did the yellow door and the flowers, the whole canvas came to life. Although I must admit, I think it was the flowers that did it.
I also love being able to compare the stitched parts to the unstitched parts. Look at how stitching the window with Accentuate really makes it look like glass. (The right windows are stitched but the left windows are not.)
This canvas celebrates Spring with its Forsythia colored door and brightly colored flowers.
