Tela da ricamo: Picnic patriottico

I’ve been stitching this canvas every evening and the hand-painted design is so clear and vibrant that I barely need to squint at the grid, even with the 18-count mesh. It’s already inspired me to turn it into a throw pillow, and I love that the colors don’t muddy as I work.

The 18-count mesh is perfect for getting clean stitches without a magnifying glass, and the patriotic colors pop beautifully on the hand-painted design. I'm already planning to turn it into a pillow for the Fourth of July.

The hand-painted details are so crisp and vibrant that I keep finding new little touches each time I pick it up—the picnic scene feels almost alive. I’m planning to turn mine into a pillow, and the 18-count weave is making the stitching feel just right.
