Love You More Updates Website
Love You More has updated their website and as part of their makeover, they now add "SGA " which stands for Stitch Guide Available to any photo of a canvas that has a stitch guide! You will have to look at the design pages, though, and I don't know if the stitch guides come with the canvas or cost extra. This isn't available for photos on the home page. Still, it's a nice touch.

As I write this all three are out of stock but I am hoping that just means they have to wait for more of the canvases to arrive from Melissa Shirley Designs. Contact Needle Works for help.

My Hood (Machelle Somerville and Pat Miller)
Pat just finished stitching the model of Machelle Somerville's "My Hood" in the pinks and purples version. This piece is a master class on stitches useful for buildings. Pat used eighteen different stitches on the houses with twenty-nine different threads to create texture. This is a great guide just to have if you stitch lots of architectural stitches.
http://needleartnut.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-hood-is-finished.html
The canvas and stitch guide are available from Fleur de Paris which distributes Machelle's designs. Or you can get the guide only directly from Pat if you have the canvas already.
