Greetings!!!

Hi! I'm Casey, a young needlepointer in Houston. I have been stitching for a smidge over three years. I consider myself "young" both in age and in my needlepoint life, but I love everything about needlepointing! The purpose of this blog is to show my works in progress and any new needlepoint related items that I discover.

This is my newest project! A DJ Designs Basset Hound canvas. I'm turning this into a pillow for my mom and dad, who have a sweet basset named Daisy.



This picture is a close up of the background. It has a cross stitch around the intersection of the laid threads.




The last picture is a photo of the whole canvas with my threads. Most of the threads for the basset are burmilana, the peach branches are threadworks, and the background is silk and ivory and sparkle braid.




I hope you enjoy my blog!!
