Summer of 2010 I worked up this design and started stitching a few months later. This project was stitched in floss with a few Kreinik accents. It is supposed to be a Kindle Cover - it is a prefinished, zipped together piece by Alice Peterson. Unfortunately, I didn't try it before stitching and it is much too big for our Kindle! I'm still trying to think of a way to make it work.
The canvas used in these items is 14-count interlock which counts closer to 13 than 14. I used floss mostly because there are so many colors and it's a good thing I did. I think anything else would have been too heavy for the canvas. Because it is prefinished, there's no way to put it on a frame. Well, by the time I finished it was waaaaay out of square! I was surprised that it blocked out easily! Anyway, it is finished now. I will use some real heavy fusible interfacing to stabilize it and make it a little stiffer.
