OMG, OMG, so much fun!  Mary Legallet has been here for two days teaching bird watching.  This is a series of canvases by Este MacLeod and Melissa Shirley.  They are just the best!  Birds, flowers, colors, patterns, texture.  Nothing too realistic, just fun areas to embellish with threads and stitches.  And let me tell you, the threads and stitches that Mary selected are the best!  Unexpected combinations of threads that bring the canvas to life.  You just want to keep stitching!

These are all from Autumn Birds.

The bird on Winter Birds is sooooo cool.

Spring Birds is happy and sweet.

Sorry, no one local selected Summer birds, I don’t have photos for that one.

Mary demonstrated all the unusual techniques to make sure we were all on track!  It’s been a relaxed and productive two days. She’s a fabulous teacher.

I can’t wait to see what the next two days bring.  We’re about to start an embellishment class with Mary!  Stay tuned for all the fun new canvases that now have stitchguides.  YAY, Mary!

If these birds are chirping to you, give us a call or order online and we’ll send you a kit for the one, two, three or four birds.  We’re also offering a bi-monthly club of birds if you would like one every other month.  How can you say no?
