Bastet is back from the framer! We have two entirely different versions to share! Mats and frame in a traditional format vs a two tiered color and black frame. So, cool. Bastet, the Egyptian Cat Goddess by Tapestry Fair was our first Mystery Class for 2013! If you missed her, it’s not too late. […]

Fabulous Frippery and Baubles by Zecca
You know I love everything Zecca. What’s not to love? Color. Pattern. Whimsy. Every inch of a Zecca canvas is fun to stitch. One day Karen (aka Zecca herself) and I were chatting, let’s do a club! And the rest as they say is history. We hope you will join us on this […]
Catty Caterpillar by Sandra Vargas
I just had to show you this canvas and threads. My oh my how cute is this? This is the Catty Caterpillar canvas by Sandra Vargas with all the wonderful threads we pulled. There isn’t really a stitchguide, it’s mostly self explanatory – follow the colors as painted in Tent Stitch. Each pair of shoes […]
The “R” Word
Got your attention. Bet you think the “R” Word is Random. Sometimes the “R” Word is Raisin. Interesting how it causes almost the same reaction in most needlepointers. That’s just some of the silly trivia that comes up in class at the shop. We have a great time when Julia Snyder comes to town! She’s […]
What’s New?
New Mystery Classes, that’s what’s new! We started Blue Moon last weekend. We love Zecca canvases and this has been a long-time favorite. It’s going to be a fun stitch filled with surprises. You can see what we did by clicking here. Since we have this one underway it’s time to announce the next mystery. […]
Evolution…..
Sometimes it takes a village. I mentioned in the last post how much I liked the stitch that Brenda Hart gave Carole for her cookie baking lady. I knew it was exactly the stitch I wanted for the moon on Blue Moon. So, I drew it out and started fiddling with the traveling path. Generally […]
Blue Moon
Blue Moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon You know just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will […]
What did you do yesterday?
Here’s just one of the more fun things we did at the shop yesterday. Emily and I pulled threads and wrote a stitchguide for Con Su Tortugas by Tapestry Fair. It’s got a a lot of fun threads and beads as you can see. Lots of fun stitches, open fun backgrounds. It will be on […]
Yes, I have friends that just basketweave :-)
It’s true. And they do a beautiful job of it. Check out this zecca canvas. This canvas is also available as the coolest ever growth chart thanks to Zecca!
And now for the go-withs
Two days ago I posted the first lesson of the Melissa Shirley Christmas Village Mystery with a Twist! It’s a very, very fun canvas that we are going to stitch in segments. With each mystery class there are presents! I love getting and giving presents. Each student received a reindeer magnet. Love this little girl! […]
