CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've done a number of plastic canvas projects. I especially like doing 3D plastic canvas projects. I have made several patterns (both 3D and flat).

I believe you can do tapestry and cross stitch on it. It is just like its material equivalent except that you can make rigid structures out of it.Beauty4Ashes said:

I've not used Plastic Canvas for my own creations before, both of my grandmothers like using it. I remember the many things they both made. Piece-banners, tree ornaments, ornamental doll-dresses, coasters... Well, it's very versatile. Some people call it tacky, but it can make really nice things in the right hands.

I have made houses and churches. the post office, the town mill, the school, A whole villiage several times. I love doing that- but my eyes are getting bad. I am going to try it again though as you all have really got me going. he he. I made a bunch of stuff and my friend took them to the county fair and I won alot of blue ribbons. also my husband made a pattern for one of those pavillion things . can't remember the name, they have a roof and openings around them and are round those things the bands used to play music on in the parks. he had to make it a certain size and it came out beautiful. it was done in all white. with red bows on it.attached to the sides of the openings.

yes it is a grid of squares like caitlincares says. and you use yarn(they have special yarn for it) which makes the items come out much nicer looking. although I find that other items come out better with just plain yarn.(they have larger squares and smaller squares. ) some squares are so small that embroidery thread is used.jdunlap said:

I have made several. that is cute!
I have also done a desine of a prayer book and have made alot of those for the lwml to give at the get togethers they have with the rest of the churches in certain parts of the state. They really liked them. I covered them all with the yarn. (some are just cut and sewn together with yarn where mine are done all over with yarn. and I put my signature on them. what I call my signature a small rose on the back down on the bottom. And a cross on front done in contrasting color usually white signaling Jesus purity.
