Stitch guides debuted at The Nimble Needle-Atlanta

Hi Everybody... Robin here...

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...
