My love for France and Paris is absolutely no secret: I have gotten to visit my favorite country twice in the past year, and oh la la it is absolutely tops!
Over this past year I have designed this Patron Saint of Needlepoint Print featuring Saint Cecelia, the Patron Saint of Needlework and have also been developing some French-inspired canvases.
And because Needlepoint Market is just around the corner, here is a little sneek peek of the half stitched 'Je t'aime Paris' Heart that will be added to the collection!
It means 'I love Paris' and the squiggles in it the squiggles are inspired by the stones, most especially those surrounding the Louvre, that have carved 'worms' or Vermiculation, carved into the stones. Adding these shapes inspired by nature gives life to the stones and inspires the viewer to reflect on the natural world.
Happy Stitching, Everyone!
