Frankie (Barbara Basso and Ruth Schmuff)

Ruth of Bedecked and Beadazzled shows off a student's version of the Barbara Basso canvas "Frankie."

It's adorable and complex and the best dinosaur EVER.  And it is stitched using Ruth's stitch guide.  Kudos!

Chris' cute needlepointed version of the A Stitch in Time shop is by Needlepoint by Sharese, who also did the stitch guide.

Great way to immortalize the shop you patronize!

Raccoon Dracula (Danji and Nancy Yeldell)

Recently I stumbled across this wonderful finishing of Danji's Dracula Raccoon on Instagram, courtesy of Island House Needlepoint.

Pretty spectacular, isn't it?  I discovered that this canvas has a stitch guide by Nancy Yeldell although I can't tell if Island House's Dracula was stitched using it.  Looks like Dracula Raccoon is part of a Halloween series from Danji but I'm unable to find others in the series.  It might be new.
