Ah, stitching in paradise! I was just in the beautiful Dominican Republic, enjoying a wonderful vacation. While I was lounging on the beach, sipping a coconut drink, I worked on a fun new canvas by Lund Enterprises. These margarita glasses are going to be made into flip flops. I'll post a picture of the completed pair of shoes soon.
I used lime green Flair from Rainbow Gallery for the margaritas and Balger from Kreinik for the lime wedges and the salt. For stitches, I did a Smyrna Cross for the salt so it's raised like actual salt. Diagonal Mosaic worked really well for the background.
As I finish stitching this canvas, I am reminded of the warm Caribbean sun and that helps make all the snow in DC tolerable...
