Stitch Season of Leaves, a printed needlepoint canvas by Seg de Paris: two fawns leaping along a river past a water mill and white cottage in autumn colors.

A little stitcher's folklore: in old forest tales the squirrel, the deer and the fox were the keepers of the woods, each with its own season. Needlepoint on printed canvas grew out of the great French tapestry tradition, and half stitch is the same stitch used on many antique chair seats and cushions.

Why this canvas: the full-colour print shows exactly where each shade goes, so there is no chart to count and you can simply relax and stitch; it is printed on genuine Zweigart canvas in France, so the mesh stays square and the colours stay crisp from the first stitch to the last; and buying the threads yourself means you choose the look: Colbert wool for a classic tapestry finish, or Mouliné and Pearl cotton for a finer sheen.

Canvas includes: one Zweigart 10-count canvas (100% cotton, 40 holes per 10 cm), designed and printed in France with the design in full colour, and a thread list naming the DMC Mouliné, Colbert wool, Retors and Pearl cotton shades to buy. Stitch used: half stitch. Not included: threads, needle and frame, which are sold separately.

Match each printed colour to the thread list, then cover the canvas in half stitch, working the main shapes first and the background last. Mounting the canvas on stretcher bars or a frame keeps it square, and a tapestry needle size 20 to 22 suits the 10-count mesh.

Canvas size: 45×60 cm (17.7×23.6 in). A generous size for a framed tapestry picture above a sofa, bed or mantel. It looks at home in a cabin, a study or a living room, and makes a thoughtful gift for hikers, nature lovers and animal lovers.
