The second 2014 Summer of Stitching Theme is:
The "I ♥" themes are left wide open for your interpretation! The first up, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, represents a huge portion of our requests here on FiS. This is your chance to help fill the void and boldly design what no designer had designed before!
Are you a huge Firefly fan? Do you regularly visit Narnia? Are you in desperate need of a "Live Long and Prosper" cushion? Do you live in fear of the next character George R.R. Martin will ax? Do you drive an Impala just like the Winchester boys? Maybe you really need a paper pieced Dark Crystal or a Percy Jackson quilt?
Choose ANY fandom (or fandoms!) you love that falls under "Sci-Fi & Fantasy" and start designing!

ReplyDeleteI have several finished Sherlock Holmes needlepoint canvases. Some were original designs and others were available as painted. I bought them at Classic Stitch in Winnetka IL
