I still have a few more treasures to share from zoom-bellishment.  By the time I get through all of these goodies it will be time to post what Mary Legallet will be offering in her September embellishment class.  So many choices! Our zoom-bellishment classes are great fun.  They continue to grow as we add new […]

Where did the last 11 days go?  I’m not totally sure, but I keep doing what I’m doing and loving it.  Well most of it.  Hauling shipping boxes is not exciting, but it leads to other things, so I do it. When last I left you I was showing the fabulous canvases from our Zoom-bellishment […]

Canvases that go together are a challenge.  They need to match.  They need to coordinate.  It’s as simple as that.  But, we are magpies, we are drawn to the new and sparkly. We like variety.  What’s a girl to do? French Cote d’Azur and French Capital City by Eleanor Grosch are the perfect example of […]

I already know this is going to be a huge favorite from our Zoom-bellishment class this weekend.  Who can resist this pup? Easy Breezy by Strictly Christmas is just the happiest canvas.  I want to boop his nose.  At 10″ x 10″ it’s a pretty quick stitch fill with fun threads and embellishments. Is it […]

Here’s Catherine’s stitched version back from the framer.  […]

Chirp is an amazing David Galchutt canvas that keeps showing up in our embellishment classes.  It is everyone’s favorite with tons of detail.  So many gorgeous threads!  This is a classic that is perfect for embellishment because I’m right there to answer any questions as they arise.  We can talk about why perspective is important.  […]

Zoom-bellishment is all about different canvases for different people.  There are so many great canvases out there and we want to see them all come to life.  Dianne selected Moon Gazer by Brenda Stofft.  An elegant bunny in the woods at night.  So sweet. I’ve written a brand new stitch guide for this canvas.  It […]

Zoom-bellishment is right around the corner.  It’s this coming weekend!  What exactly is Zoom-bellishment?  It’s the upside of our new normal.  Typically we offer embellishment classes several times a year.  You sign up, pick your canvas and I write the stitchguide.  You come to class and we spend a few days going over the challenging […]
