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.

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
Oh, boy! I can't wait to see more, especially Penny's work! Write faster, Robin! Hugs from CH-me
