This has been sich a fun project. One big reason is that there are so many unusual (and easy) techniques packed into this tiny space.
It’s one of a series from Whimsy & grace (http://www.whimsyandgrace.com/scissorcases.htm). I have stitch guides available for many of the scissors cases and the matching needlecases.
The guide for this one is out and available now, I’m working on the model. I just love the classic red-white, and blue color scheme.
This guide is fun because it uses lots of cool techniques you can apply to other canvases. The background of the patch with the wavy lines is just one color of Watercolours, stitched in vertical lines. You get this great hand-dyed fabric effect, with no work.
The wavy lines are stitched in Whipped Backstitch, making a absolutely solid, curved line.
The little stars are stitched with Eyelet Stars over the basketweave. This stitch makes a little five-pointed star.
This was so much fun to stitch I raced through it.
