A Quick Look at a Susan Portra Guide

Linda at Split the Needles is working Shelly Tribbey's Gingerbread Manor using a Susan Portra stitch guide.  I thought you'd like to see how Susan lays out the 98 separate areas in her guide so that it's easy to see where you need to work next on this very complicated piece.

I don't know where Linda got her stitch guide and canvas but Enriched Stitch probably can help you out if this canvas starts whispering "buy me" to you.

Needlenook of La Jolla has Susan's guide in stock.

You may also may be able to get the guide from Susan herself.  Check out the Featured Canvas section of her website to see more about how she approaches a complex canvas.
