Back from recent travels to The Nimble Needle - Atlanta. What a fun time. Stacy Brown is a lovely shop owner. I was so pleased to be asked to return to her shop for another teaching engagement.

I taught the Thistle to an eager crowd of 10 plus ghosts. Inventive Turkey Work, Felt Applique, and fun composite stitch techniques were shared.

Everyone had a good time and really enjoyed the size of the canvas: 3.5" x 5.5" on 18 mesh by Zecca. If we had another day together, they would have totally finished the entire project. Sweet.
Want to stitch your own Thistle? Just ask your Favorite Needlepoint Shop to order it from Zecca. My stitch guide comes with the canvas.
Saturday and Sunday were Canvas Enhancement days at The Nimble Needle. Each person (8 per day) pre-selected a canvas for me to "zhuzh" up. What a fun selection, don't you think?

I've been home a week, and have been working on other projects: writing stitch guides, stitching models, and answering emails. Oh, and giving many hugs to the Mews. Now, that's a full time job. LOL.
Leo says "Keep Calm and Take a Nap." Smart cat.
Thanks for visiting the blog. Until the next time... Hugs, Robin
Leo is a hoot! Nothing sleeps in as relaxed a manner as a cat! Welcome home, by the way.
ReplyDeleteLots of beauties in that group.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane. Yes, Leo keeps us laughing all the time. His is the most "chilled" cat. Thanks for stopping by the blog. It is good to be home. Hugs. Robin
