Sadly, this is the last post of John Johanssen needlepoint from Melissa Shirley Designs. So everyone, start stitching your John Johanssen canvas and email pictures to me so we can share this wonderful art next year! Think of inspirations for your canvas and think of John Johanssen -layering, lots of sparkly and colors, details!
This is Dr. Margot's boot. she is always so much fun to stitch with and loves all the extras on her canvas. Ribbon is from the Ribbonry in Chaparral Needlework.
A boot stitched by Paula D. is such a happy piece to have in one's home. Pre made flowers and pressed glass beads are perfect to sew on John Johanssen canvases.
Sally Anne stitched this wonderful Johanssen vase of flowers for her entrance hall. Framing is from Davis Hardware and Framing, ribbon next to the needlepoint is from the Ribbonry in Chaparral Needlework.
A small canvas, Sally Anne and I did this for John as a "Thank You" for letting us come to his studio. We had it finished into a door hanger for his studio.

Brand new from the Winter Needlepoint Market, this is a new canvas by Melissa Shirley Designs for John Johanssen. I am writing a stitch guide for Sally Anne so she will probably have it finished by the fall.
