Fall is on the way, but the fall colors have not peaked at Laurel Mill. Create this North Caroline scene using numerous Weeks Dye Works overdyed threads, stranded embroidery cotton and Accentuate. Learn to paint a section of the canvas. Use thread blending to create realism in the mill’s weathered boards and to add some variety to the sky. Canvas stitches include Nobuko, Serendipity, the Water Stitch, French knots and more. Use a few sharp needle techniques to stitch the tree trunks and the evergreen sprays on the cedar tree.
