Counted Cross Stitch
Custom House of Needle Arts.
The stitches in this "Not Exactly Blackwork" project pack are mostly inspired by needlepoint stitches.
Some are used almost as their original with only changes in spacing. Other counted thread stitches
are used in new and interesting groupings -- and some stitches are just playful wonderings.
Although Blackwork is traditionally a counted thread on fabric technique,
Susan has effectively used it on needlepoint canvas also.
