Napa Valley Mustard
A Wine Country Landscape Design

The dramatic and colorful landscape of Napa Valley in early spring is the inspiration behind this embellished box. In this retired teaching piece the stitcher will learn many innovative and easy techniques to make their designs sing. Clumping, mixing colors in an area and the "lazy" method of adding French Knots are covered as well as techniques to make needlepoint "wooden" siding and "stone" fences. The final section covers how to embellish the finished needlepoint box with beads and ribbon embroidery.
