Step 1I didn't want to use canvas or cross stitch fabric for this project. So, off to my fabric and table cloth stash I went and pulled out some burlap/jute.
-
Step 2I always have an abundant supply of DMC thread, so it was the obvious choice. I guess you can use any type of thread, but I went for their thicker cotton skeins to go with the larger weave of the fabric. I randomly stitched some triangles. No patterns. No plan. I just kept stitching!
-
Step 3I sewed triangles adjacent to each other. Like my recent projects, the design turned out being geometric again!
-
Step 4After I was done, I took a plain canvas I had lying around. Of course, it had to be smaller than my piece of fabric. I then stapled the fabric onto the canvas, making sure to pull tight with each staple. You don't want the whole thing falling apart later on!
-
Step 5Immediately after I was done, it called our foyer counter home!
