This is the first in a series of American houses - all counted on the canvas and real fun to stitch up!

My new collage series is so fun to stitch!

Made with lots of fun & easy composite stitches, these designs are worked on 18 ct canvas.  Variegated threads create magical color variations.  Beads and metallics add extra fun and sparkle to these designs.
