| Flying to The Nimble Needle-Atlanta |
Back in front of my computer after traveling to and teaching at The Nimble Needle-Atlanta. It was 3 days of classes: "Help is On the Way" and Canvas Enhancement classes for 14 stitch guides.
What fun we had! Look at the pretty threads pulled for the canvases.

Penny Boswinkle enjoyed the class so much she went home and stitched on her piece, "Because You're Mine I Walk the Line." She sent me a photo of her progress. LOVE it. Thanks, Penny for sharing.

I can't wait to teach it as a class. Everyone will have their chance to select their favorite colorway. Just imagine the possibilities. Then I will share the design layout and teach Laid Filling, Beading, and composite stitches with a Special Heart Border.

| Just an example of the endless possibilities for HUGS (GS-11) |
HUGS is a nice message for a grandchild, student away at college or a guest room. Work it up in School Colors or your favorite colors. Everyone needs a HUG! Call The Nimble Needle-Atlanta to sign up for the class (404) 843-8687.
Well, time to get back to writing stitch guides and stitching on the Halloween Village (MSD 1627-C). The adventure kicks off mid-April. I'm having the best time stitching this piece. Would love for you to join me.
Until the next time... HUGS! Robin
