This is a book on the techniques of lightly covering the canvas using only vertical and horizontal stitches to enhance a painted canvas. The result? The painted canvas shows through making it a part of the completed design. It answers a common question dede often gets, "How do I make my stitching look like your painting?" Less experienced stitchers will love this approach because it eliminates the need to learn traditional shading techniques. The stitching techniques use less thread and take about 1/3rd the time.

A special attraction is the color picture packet in the back of the book for INSPIRATION and the ring binder for easy easel fold access while stitching.
