Not sure these are words that should apply to needlepoint but some how this weekend they did.

The one and only Meredith Willet was here for a whirlwind two days of creativity and we had a blast.  Thank you my friend for sharing your talents with us.

Sue, Wendy and I worked on the Melissa Shirley Chameleon.  We didn’t get much stitching done but we have lots of plans.  The chameleon needs to be lumpy and bumpy right?

He will be completely beaded.  I think we picked 12 colors of beads.  I got as far as putting the 4 main colors in Bead Buddies.  Love those bead buddies!

Check out this flower.  Each petal will have a pink bullion in the center of the petal outlined with cast on stitches on either side.  So clever!

Kathy worked on this gorgeous geisha from Meredith’s own line.  The chopstick looks almost real when needle woven.

There is no other answer for the beautiful patterns on this obi than Or Nué.  It really is a beautiful technique.

Here’s another lumpy, bumpy – the turkey!  Need I say more, he’s a gem.

A weekend full of wonderful stitches and friends.  What more could a girl want?  Can you tell how excited Kathy was 🙂

Meredith will be back in October so watch for more antics then.

Thanks for visiting.
