Back from the framer, my jeweled lizard is framed in a reptile textured frame with a purple velvet liner and black mat. This was a fun sparkly stitch! Any chance I get to use large sparkly crystals is a good day in my book. Here’s the link if you see a lizard […]

New Zoom Classes!
Cynthia Rutledge will be with us in August through ZOOM! Cynthia is a great teacher and her designs are stunning! We’ve picked three fun pieces all very different for our three days of zoom.

Pick your favorite color and have a matching set. Order needle cases here. Order laying tools here and here. Hope you are finding lots […]
Nouveau
I hope you are having a fabulous Sunday. The weather here is glorious and so not like mid June. I’m okay with that. Last weekend we had a fabulous class on zoom with Kimberly of a Kimberly Design. It was her Nouveau Floral. It sold out so fast I didn’t really have time to launch […]
Birds of Paradise
The Birds of Paradise by Zecca is such a cool canvas. Designed as a triptych you get a lot of bang for your efforts. The canvases are all painted individually so they are a fun comfortable size to stitch but then once stitched and framed together you have an incredible large piece. That’s a win, […]

Unfortunately this particular shade of pink is hard to find. Bright fluorescent pinks appear on my radar sometimes but […]
Fifi!
Fifi in her Garden by Johanna Virtanen is our current Mystery Class. We just started her and she is the cheekiest pup ever! Her colors are perfect for the Spring/Summer days we are having here. She’s white with polka dots, nothing wrong with that. You know I love polka dots. The fun challenge with this […]
Calliope
You just never know what mischief I will get into. Whatever it is, you know it will be sparkly. My latest adventure is that I commissioned limited edition Austrian crystals in the yummiest shades of pink and purple and all sorts of different sizes and shapes. Once they were in hand, the next step was […]
What a Happy Stork
All zecca canvases are happy canvases and this one is no exception. Sunset in the Swamp features a happy stork in a swamp. Ok, swamps are not my happy place but it’s obviously his. And thanks to Susan for selecting this canvas for Mary Legallet’s embellishment class it now has a shiny new stitchguide. Here’s […]
