Happy Thanksgiving to each of you.
On this holiday, I am taking time to blog. Yes, blog.... to catch you up on what's been going on since the last time we were together.
Step into the Wayback Machine with me... as we visit October 10-11, 2014.
October 10-11, 2014 ... Needle Nook of La Jolla
I had been asked to teach a canvas enhancement class at Needle Nook of La Jolla. |
| Needle Nook of La Jolla has 2 stores: The Canvas Studio and The Thread Gallery |
What an honor. The store is a leader in the needlepoint community: great website, knowledgeable staff and management, and home to their brilliant resident teacher David McCaskill. And, did I mention it was in La Jolla, CA?
I've always heard about the wonderful weather in Southern California; the inspiration to many songs.
And look at this view. The Pacific Ocean was right there!
Palm Trees and succulents.
10 canvases were on the dossier from these wonderful designers: Zecca, Ruth Schmuff, Dream House Ventures, Barbara Fox, Kirk & Bradley, Maggie Co, Melissa Shirley Designs, and Treglown Designs/Charley Harper.

| new stitch guides by Robin King |
The color copies had been given to me ahead of time and I was able to plan stitch & thread suggestions.
It is always fun to see the threads pulled and the stitches come to life. Look at the wall of threads in the Needle Nook of La Jolla's Thread Gallery!
I was scurrying from one student to the next. I didn't get to take as many photos as I would have liked to take. Here's a few...

| Breakfast at The Cottage with Rosanne |
Here's Rosanne (the talented and terrific manager at Needle Nook of La Jolla) who had the "stuffed" French Toast. You can see my "eggy" breakfast in the foreground. Epically delicious.
I had the best time teaching at Needle Nook of La Jolla and look forward to the next time. Many thanks to Fay, David, and Rosanne for this opportunity.
It's time to set the Wayback Machine to another day where I met a new upcoming needlepoint artist. See you soon.
Until then, Hugs! Robin
