Martini Madness (Princess and Me with The Wool and The Floss)

This hilarious take on Santa and martinis is from Princess and Me, with a stitch guide from The Wool and The Floss.

Princess and Me includes a guide for this canvas that is somewhat different.  If you buy the canvas from The Wool and The Floss you can ask them about getting their stitch guide, too.

Stitch Guides for Christmas

AlexParas NeedleArts has stitch guides for Christmas—literally! For the month of November 2018, all their Christmas-themed canvases that have stitch guides included are in one place on their website.  If you buy one of these (and don't tarry because there are probably only one of each) you may get 20% off or you can get 10% off and the other 10% will go to their charity of the month, which happens to be the Puppy Up Foundation.

There's a huge range of designers so if you want to stitch something Christmas and would like a guide, check these out.  Puppy Up will thank you!

A Peek at the Stitch Guides for Princess and Me Canvases

All Princess and Me canvases come with stitch guides.  Nimble Needle in New Jersey shows you a bit about what these guides are like in this interesting posting on the Nimble Needle blog.

Free Stitch Guides from Kreinik

While doing something else, I realized that Kreinik's website has some wonderful free stitch guides for canvases from Gone Stitching, Maggie and Princess and Me, plus Associated Talents, SharonG, Lee's Needle Art, Denise DeRusha, Fancy Carole, and Catherine Reurs.  It's a fun place to explore, especially if you might have one of these canvases hidden away in your crafts room.

Don't forget all the charts available!  Many of them are designed for silk gauze but they will work well on Congress cloth or even larger ground fabrics.

Canvases with Free Stitch Guides Included

Some designers offer a free stitch guide with each painted canvas.  I will list all the designers whose canvases come with a guide below as I discover them.

Barbara Bergsten's canvases all come with stitch guides.  You get them from her blog and then pick up the canvas at your local shop.  Here's the link.  Note that this is a great place to get individual stitch diagrams, not just a guide for one of Barbara's canvases.

Princess and Me specializes in ornament canvases, mostly humorous Christmas motifs, and all their canvases come with stitch guides.

Needlepoint.com

One online shop lists the canvases that come with their own stitch guides that they have for sale.  These are from varied designers.  I recognize Kelly Clark, Princess and Me, A Collection of Designs, and Shelly Tribbey.  Prices vary from $5-15 extra for the guide.  Note that all Princess and Me canvases come with a stitch guide included at no extra charge. I don't know if the stitch guide alone is available for the other designers' canvases but one A Collection of Designs canvas comes with a guide at no charge.

I wish more online stores were organized this way.

UPDATE: Needle Works in Texas also has a category for canvases with stitch guides. It looks like these are all canvases that have the stitch guides included in the price but I can't be 100% sure.  Here's the link-
