No, I haven’t been drinking, but I did just receive some great new pieces back from the finisher. One of which is the checkered crab frame weight designed exclusively for us by Squiggee aka Gail Hendrix.

Gail’s canvases are all beautifully painted making them a joy to stitch. This crab frame weight is funky and fun. The flowers were quick and easy to stitch in long stitches of Petite Sparkle Rays or silk ribbon embroidery. Of course I had to make a run to the fabric store to find big crystal buttons for his eyes. He’s a cutie.

I’ll post more pictures as soon as possible. It’s always fun to see finishing. Besides all of our new designs that will be released at market in 2 weeks I have also completed stitch guides for 2 new Melissa Shirley canvases and the Strictly Christmas Stitching Santa. So, stay tuned. More to follow.

Happy Holidays.
