Sorry for the late post. Yesterday was the third lesson of the Christmas Birds class. We covered a few more sections of the background. I love these kinds of canvases where there are little areas of accomplishment along the road. These are the kind I don’t want to see end. The purple and red sections […]

Santa Stopped by
Merry, merry. Santa stopped by to say hi. Isn’t he cute? I introduced this canvas this summer and Santa finally dropped off the stitchguide for the Silly Elf. Wasn’t that timely of him? Santa also dropped off an assembly required present for the boys. Richie had to supervise the assembly. That is his official job […]
Blue Moon is framed
Have you looked at the weather out there? Yuk! Here in Maryland it is just dismally gray. Not sure that’s the motivation I need to finish decorating the Christmas tree. In the interest of bright and happy and fun, here’s Blue Moon in its fun frame! This canvas seems like a blur, it was two […]
They’re here! They’re here!
Oh what an exciting day. If you are on Facebook and part of Needlepoint Nation you may have noticed posts with the needlepoint of Stacy Connors. Stacy has a look that is uniquely her own. We have worked with Stacy to bring her designs to the needlepoint world. Yay, Stacy! Currently there are 2 designs […]
What’s a Little Counting Between Friends
How about a fun little counted project just in time for the holidays? Looking for a stocking stuffer for a needlepoint friend. This could be just the ticket. Kimberly Smith designed this quirky counted canvas piece to showcase Vineyard Silk and Vineyard Merino Wool both in the same color. It’s called Texture and Shine, such […]
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
So, the question has arisen more than once, what’s the next Mystery Class? It really is time to let the cat, errr dog out of the bag :-) Especially if we want canvases in time to stitch. Our holiday mystery will run through the 2nd of February. Our next mystery will begin February 16th and […]
She’s baaaaack!
Kimberly Smith (aka Kimberly Crum) and I go back a million years. Back in the day we were both designing counted canvas work and being distributed by the same company. Counted Canvaswork started to wane in popularity. Time marched on, I started designing painted canvases, she moved a few times. We always stayed in touch. […]

Santa Bird
Well, today did not go quite as planned. It should have been lesson #2 of the Silly Christmas Birds, but we had snow and ice. Not as much as some parts of the country but one never knows. So, we decided to cancel class for the day. Just because we cancelled the in person class […]
What? More girls want to come to the party!
What party you ask? In the swanky part of needlepoint land there is a fashion show and very slowly the girls have been walking the red carpet showing off their gowns. We started this Mystery with a Twist class oh so long ago stitching one lovely lady at a time. They are oodles of fun […]
OOOH! I like this technique
Fun. Fun. Fun. We had a great weekend at Bedecked and Beadazzled, with the oh-so-fun Sandy Arthur. Sandy was gracious enough to give up part of her Thanksgiving weekend to come and teach us her rendition of Brenda Stofft’s Wizard of Paws. We had a full house! Thank you all for coming! Every inch of […]
