As I recall, Jim Wurth retired when I was early into canvaswork and felt his pieces would be too difficult for me. But, I did like them. Now, I’ll finally get to stitch one of his designs, Silken Sonata, thanks to Linda. It’s a lovely 4″x4″ piece on a green canvas with copper and beige threads. It’s a lovely design with colors I love. Linda even included the needles! She’s so thoughtful. This is the second posting in my special Birthday Bonanza! The mug was the first.
For a small piece, it is packed with Jean Hilton type stitches, including Sprats and Jessicas of different sizes with Smyrnas and Eyelets. Some overlaying of threads is needed, which will be interesting as well.
I didn’t know about Jim Wurth’s designs when he was popular. I was at The Stitching Post a lot – only lived 8 minutes away. I guess Melinda (and Barbara before her) didn’t carry Jim Wurth’s designs.
