This counted canvas is part of our dear Tumbling Blocks collection, which is deeply personal to our small business—it represents the very beginning of our founder's journey into mo dern needlepoint and the creation of Unwind Studio. “Tumbling Blocks have a long history in the grammar of ornament, dating as far back as Ancient Greece, when the pattern appeared as a mosaic floor design. It may have been introduced into quilt-making in the 1850s. Also known as cube work, the stunning optical results of floating, stacked, and overall cubic arrangements are achieved through the distribution of color and light and dark pieces.”The reason why we choose to kit this design with Zweigart Penelope antique brown canvas, is because you don’t need to embroider the background! The canvas is so beautiful that the end result looks amazing as it is :) Show more
