What kind of needlework is this? Also what kind of thread do you use and how much should you buy?

This is Counted Canvas Work. Quite lovely, using some fibres from Caron Watercolours, DMC Perle Cottons, and... hmmm. You will need a piece of 18-count needlepoint canvas, stretcher bars, tacks...etc. I'm not sure that I have it in my stash, but if I do, you can have it. Too many patterns, too little time. But this one is great. I'll need to contact ECS about how they list patterns... definitely NOT cross-stitch! Blessings always! -barb

Hey, momcat. How are you and the wall doing? Hope you are well. Always look for your posts because they lift my spirits. Take care. Pam

Hey, Pam! The wall is still up...#&*@% it all.... Me? My arthritis took a nasty turn, ended up with horrible bursitis in my hip, got a new doctor, got a big-a** shot in my hip, still stitching away and envying all the friends and family who are taking trips to Mexico and Alaska. D***-it... I'm still here in NoCo. Today, there are storms threatening, the wind is blowing, and my lower back is having muscle spazyms. (Sorry, can't spell simple words, but do great at Jeopardy and complicated words!) I have too many hopes, too little time. Be well, everyone! -barb

This is a nice, easy going one to do and it looks great.
I love this kind of pattern because to they really highlight
the art of a true cross stitch! Just order what is listed on
the supplies list. The only thing I did was change to Aida.
Used for 14ct.

Sorry to hear about the hip and arthritis discomfort momcat. I’ve got arthritis (osteo arthritis) and that is one reason DH and I migrate South.
Beautiful pattern, simple but elegant...
