Freebie Alert — Poodle Outline

August 8, 2009

Elle Decoration magazine has a delightful stencil of a poodle designed by Conrad Botes (from South Africa) available as a free download on their site. The link is at the top of the right column.

So of it’s a stencil, why am I telling you about it on a needlepoint blog? It’s a great shape, and a wonderful size. When I saw the silhouettes in circles on his daughter’s wall (in the accompanying post), I immediately thought they would make wonderful needlepoint pieces.

So print the poodle, outline it on canvas and draw a big circle around it. Pick two threads, colors, and stitches you like and make a great modern piece.
