Bitch Free Guide Available

The Bitch Canvas Done!

After I finished blog-stitching Bloomin' Stitches' wonderfully cheeky design "Bitch," I wrote up the stitch guide and it is now available for free as a PDF file.

If you are interested, email me at sgfromchnp@gmail.com and ask.  This canvas comes in many color variations but if you have other colors, you can easily substitute a red Kreinik for a purple I used, etc. Hopefully the ideas I used for my lettering will also translate to other sayings canvases, too, so if you need ideas….

By the way, Pat Miller has done a guide for her version of this fun piece.  Here it is made up as a pillow.

I don't see it listed on her blog but ask her about it if you are interested.
