Twelve Days of New York City Set
This very special set of the Twelve Days of New York City pay homage to my home, The Big Apple. All twelve canvases are included in this set and I have provided DMC thread matches below for each to help you navigate the stitching process! These can easily be stitched without the numbers- simply continue the borders around and when they are finished what’s left of the exposed number will get folded back behind the canvas never to be seen so never fear- these can be stitched by all!
All twelve canvases are approximately three inches each in size and are on 18 mesh.
All canvases will arrive taped and include needles. Threads not included.
Here are my DMC recommendations but don’t forget you can stitch these first from your thread stash and always fill in where needed with my suggestions:
