Criss Cross Hungarian Stitch
Criss Cross Hungarian is a gorgeous, textured stitch perfect for backgrounds! It is not the easiest to compensate, but the effect is well worth the extra counting. I love to stitch it with a pop of glitter in the middle, see above. Enjoy!

Mosaic Stitch
Mosaic is a classic stitch for large backgrounds. Not only is it easy to compensate, but it also goes by quickly. Fabulous for creating texture against a large area of continental or basketweave, will make pieces pop! Enjoy!

Wave Stitch
My favorite new stitch for large backgrounds on seaside canvases! Use a variegated fiber like silk road to create more texture (as seen on the Palm Beach Shell) or use different shades of the same color/different colors to create more movement (as seen on the Apres Beach pillow). However you use the wave stitch I hope you enjoy!

May Flowers Playlist
April Showers Bring May Flowers. May to me is soft and it is pretty. Summer is peeking around the corner. Flowers are blooming and blue skies are ahead. It is cool enough for a sweater, but warm enough to hang up your coat. The MET Gala provides inspiration. May to me is feminine, like this playlist. It is soft & inviting, a prelude to a beautiful...
