New from Emily Garces
It’s Spring Market time and your inbox, Instagram feed and FB feed are flooded with new! I couldn’t resist showing you what’s new from our sweet Emily Garces. All of her canvases are petite, or should I be trendy and say demure? Darling animals 6″ x 6″ begging to be stitched by you. Stitch them […]
Want to see what we did?
Our first lesson of Halloween Cruise Mayhem was last Saturday. It is a bohemoth of a canvas. Rebecca Wood outdid herself on this one. It has sooooo much going on. We are tackling it in 4 lessons with 3 months in between. That gives you time to stitch away. Our first lesson focused on the […]

I think the results are amazing. Designed by zecca this is a relatively simple canvas but not without challenges. The design […]
It’s a Courtly Finish
Sometimes it’s fun to share variations on finishing that are almost the same but somewhat different. Most of the canvases I design stitchguides for are best as framed pieces. You know my love of big open stitches and fussy details that bring the art to life. Here’s Queen’s Court by Lane Tree and Lily finished […]

I love the colors. I love the watercolor-painterly feel. I also saw an opportunity to experiment with depth and […]
