Counted Canvas feeds a different side of my design brain - it involves the bold colors & patterns I prefer, but space is filled with counted stitches that provide texture and detail.

My pieces are perfect as teaching pieces, whether in a group or individually. All stitched on 18ct mono canvas, none is larger than 8x8", but all are packed with unique stitches & step by step instruction.

I chose my own Top 9 for 2025โค๏ธ Starting top left I chose my own Top 9 for 2025โค๏ธ

Starting top left to right:

- another needlework market, another sweet little bug - my fav part of Ladybug Picnic? - those feet ๐Ÿคฃ
- I over-fertilized the strawberries - thanks for loving my 13โ€ produce ๐Ÿ“ 
- Friends. Itโ€™s what makes this job so much funโค๏ธ
- This was the inaugural greenhouse season - our zinnia game was strong ๐ŸŒบ 
- Our pumpkin game was a little stronger ๐ŸŽƒ 
- Thank you Joseph Chilton Pearce for this fabulous quote ๐ŸŽจ 
- I love that we are a Special Olympics family ๐Ÿ… 
- Home Sweet Home - it was fun helping a friend create an original concept class with this brand new design ๐Ÿชก
- Stand Up For Santa - I love seeing so many stitchers try a new finish ๐ŸŽ…

It was very difficult to pick just 9 moments from this past year - I look forward to 2026 and hope the choices are just as plentiful a year from nowโค๏ธ

Thank you!๐Ÿชก
