Hand Painted Canvases For
Needlepoint Footstools or Framing


     All hand painted canvases are unique, designed and produced by a highly skilled needlepoint artist.

    The size of the designs and canvas in the Canadiana series provides enough material for the cushion
    material on a footstool or for proper mating if framing is desired.

    Pearl cotton #5 (not included) is recommended for these hand painted needlepoint canvas designs.

    A medium or large size Stitch Away fabric mount (not included) is recommended for holding these
    hand painted designs in order to reduce canvas distortion as a result of using the basketweave or
    continental (tent) stitch.
