OOOH!  Zecca’s Fashion canvas is back from the framer and is all about the drama.  I know some people think Zecca is childlike but I see the timeless elegance in her whimsy and that’s what I like to bring out.  So, go big or go home with a 3″ wide gold leaf frame and and […]

We’ve made it to the final episode of “What is Ruth doing in Zoom-bellishment This Time?”  I can’t believe I powered through all of these posts without missing a day. Allow me to introduce the last of the brand spankin new canvases for Zoom-bellishment.  This is Blue Dog by Hue & Mi and Sangita.  Just […]

Brand new for Zoom-bellishment is a new David Galchutt canvas, The Conspiracy!  What could be more fun?!  The details in this canvas, Oh My!  The textures in their clothing and the patterns are amazing.  The look on their faces tells the story.  I’ve worked out all the details in the stitchguide and it’s going to […]

Are you ready to see another new guide for Zoom-bellishment?  Hue & Mi and Sangita designed this sweet Damask Bunny and I can’t wait to see it stitched.  It now comes complete with a happy stitchguide. There are beads and ribbons and all sorts of fun texures in this adorable canvas.  It’s not too big.  […]

I have so many favorite canvases.  Some of them were project classes, some were Mystery Classes, some were guides I wrote for previous zoom-bellishment classes that I haven’t stitched but I love how they turned out.  I’m always happy when these canvases come back for a second visit in a Zoom-bellishment class. David Galchutt canvases […]

I’ve been showing you canvases that are being featured in Zoom-bellishment next weekend that are returning favorites – canvases that I have previously written guides for either as mystery classes or in prior embellishment classes.  I’ve written a lot of guides for a lot of pretty canvases. There are also brand new stitchguides in Zoom-bellishment. […]

So many cool threads just waiting […]

Another of the returning favorites for next weekend’s Zoom-bellishment class is the Timothy Chapman Bison from Tapestry Fair.  He is dramatic! Carol stitched him and he is grand!  Full disclaimer, she did tweak one of the ribbons but everything else follows my guide.  We’ll be talking about Bison challenges in class.  There are some really […]
