Looking for This Canvas

Missing:  Amanda Lawford's Two Schnauzers on a Couch
Ok, folks, time to look through your stash and rummage through the deep, dark recesses of your shops.  We have a canvas alert--have you seen this Amanda Lawford design anywhere?  It is the perfect image of Nancy's two Schnauzers and she is dying to stitch this. But this Amanda Lawford piece has been discontinued and because there is no master, it can't be reproduced for her.  Have you seen this anywhere?  Post a comment if you have a lead, or email me at chillyhollow at hot maildotcom.  Nancy wants to combine her love for her dogs with her love of needlepoint and you are her only hope.

Rittenhouse Needlepoint has a huge collection of dog canvases and does have a similar canvas with just one schnauzer on a flowered background. Sorry, did not see this exact one.
I wondered if Coni Rich had seen the canvas of the Jack Russel stitching!

Thanks, Mom55! Here is the link to page one of Rittenhouse's dog canvases.

You'll have to copy/paste into a new window as comment URLs cannot be made clickable. The one Schnauzer canvas is on page ten although there are other Schnauzer designers sprinkled throughout. There are also just about any dog breed and style you could want here. It's a great browse for those who love dogs or those who love stitching them. By the way, the Jack Russell stitching is on page 30 but on page 28 where they are drinking beer or the one where they are decorating the tree (p. 23) might be more to Stewey's taste.
