Tapestry cover brick doorstops

These are 4 of my best doorstops embroidered on 14 count mono canvas with Paterna or Appleton wool.You can actually use any wool or a mixture of cottons,crotchet,perle and even as in the doorstop with the flower garden effect I used unspun white wool,silk ribbon or any old stuff that can be pulled through the canvas. The patterns are my own designs. The worst job is adding the finished canvas (which has to be exactly the same size) to the covered brick.It needs strong fingers.My husband Edward used to do it for me before he passed away.

Another way to make the doorstop is to only make an embroidered top & surround it with some strong material to match and cover the brick.
