I've been in "stitch guide writing mode" ... getting ready for the next teaching destination: Creative Stitches & Gifts in Dallas, TX. Since I have 3 more guides to go...
I made the "executive decision" to take a break, and write about my wonderful time at The Nimble Needle-Atlanta a few weeks ago.
Let's see....
The first day was a "Help is on its way" class... a cold reading, if you will, with lots of ideas bubbling up for stitch & thread suggestions. I believe I gave them a nice "jump start" for what to do on their canvases.
Here are the lovely ladies from Day #1. Actually, Vicki and Liz (our new best friends!... they really are the Cat's Meow!) were missing from the photo. They were upstairs visiting all of the Ribbon & Trim goodies from the Nicholas Kniel store. #mustvisit

Day #2 and Day #3 were Canvas Enhancement classes. The canvas were previously selected by each student, I wrote the stitch guides, and the threads were pulled by The Nimble Needle-Atlanta.
Yes, we are a well-oiled machine!
For class day, I reviewed techniques & thoughts with each person. Stitching demos were given, too.
Here is Day #2...

Such a talented group of ladies. I pinch myself each time for the opportunity to visit The Nimble Needle-Atlanta.
Here are some thread and canvas photos... we like to call them "Beauty Shots"...
Look at all these wonderful new stitch guides! Interested? just email me at creativecats@comcast.net. Wholesale inquires welcome, too.
The only "Beauty Shot" missing is "Frog eat Frog" by Charley Harper (Treglown Designs • HC-F140).
We will talk about him in another blog... plus more finished pieces, and some stitches, too!
Until then... Hugs, Robin
