The Nimble Needle-Atlanta - part 2

Hi Everybody... Robin here...

It is always thrilling to see one's stitch suggestions come to life.

In April 2013, I taught some canvas enhancement classes at The Nimble Needle-Atlanta, and in October 2013 I returned and taught some more canvas enhancement classes.

To my surprise, several of the October class students had been in the April class, and they brought in their finished/almost finished pieces to show and tell.

I'd like to share them with you.

First up: Christmas Fairies Large Stocking stitched by Adrienne Pease. This stocking (canvas by Susan Roberts/Tapestry Tent • TTAXS336) is for one of Adrienne's granddaughters. Lucky girl.

Next up: Poterie stitched by Taffy Dunlevie. Taffy is stitching this Sandra Gilmore design (canvas by Once in a Blue Moon • SG-18-860) and showed me her progress. I was very pleased!

The stitchers from the October 2013 enhancement classes at The Nimble Needle - Atlanta have shown just as much stitching progress. 

Renie Weinstein is almost finished with her Melons & Peaches canvas by Colors of Praise (FF-11).

I'll be returning to The Nimble Needle - Atlanta next week (February 8-10, 2014) for another session of canvas enhancement classes. Can't wait to see everyone and to begin this journey again.

Any/all of my stitch guides are available... you can email me at creativecats@comcast.net.

In the next blog, I will share some finished pieces from another talented stitcher at The Nimble Needle - Atlanta, Penny Boswinkle. 

I'm going to start writing it now... look for it tomorrow. 

Until then... Hugs, Robin
