The Mystery of the Three Cranes

The Mysterious Three Cranes Canvas

Last week the Canvas of the Day was the three cranes piece above. This is a canvas I saw on Ridgewood Needlepoint's blog.  I guessed it was from HP Designs but it isn't on their website.  Anyone know who designed the three cranes?  Evelyn has it in her stash but her copy is unsigned.

Thanks for helping solve this mystery!

The Needlepoint Train

With the popularity of blogs, you can watch quite a few stitchers work their painted canvases and pick up tips and ideas from each one. However, I've never seen anyone blog-stitch a locomotive before!

I'll update this article as Jan stitches so you can see the train being born on canvas.
