Mariposa
Mariposa is an intermediate-level counted canvas design that can be finished as a framed picture, an insert for a lacquered box or a pillow insert. So, not only do you have a lovely piece that is fast and fun to stitch, you’ll also learn some really cool stitches. The finished design size is approximately 6 inches square. The working canvas is 10 inches square.
The design is worked on 18-mono canvas. It combines Kreinik metallic (2 spools), ThreadworX overdyed pearl #8 (2 skeins), and Caron Collections Impressions.
