I was quite excited to see that Ridgewood Needlepoint has a stitch guide for one of Jean Smith's florals, since stitch guides for these beauties are rare. You can buy just the canvas from Ridgewood but if you buy the thread kit, the stitch guide is free.

Elephant (Love You More and Connie Camp)
Judith's "Elephant" turned out great. This is a licensed design from Lanre Adefioye distributed by Love You More. The stitch guide is from Nashville Needlework's Connie Glenn Camp.
Note Judith had problems with the all silk background getting fuzzy so she took out what she had done, put the stretcher bars on top of the canvas and stitched it "in the well" without issues.
