Fantastic Box Finishing!

Just in the past month or so, I've seen two of my designs finished up into a Deux Bijoux Bijoux box!  The artisans at DBB design & hand paint each item to match the canvas, visit their website by clicking this LINK. 

This is my Tropic Colors Maze (with stitch guide from Ridgewood Needlepoint) stitched by Stephanie M.:

And this is my Alpine Heart canvas stitched by Linda E.:

I absolutely have to get something of my own stitched and off to DBB!

Birdcage Heart in the Latest Needlepoint Now

I have a new project in the May/June issue of Needlepoint Now, "Birdcage Heart".  This is a quick to stitch 4 inch round ornament that I hope you'll have lots of fun working on!

New Stitch Guides Available!

I have not had as much time to stitch since taking over production and distribution of my canvases back in 2015, so it is pretty seldom nowadays that I can announce any new stitch guides by me.  I have had a handful of finishes aver the last year, and finally made some time to write and publish the stitch guides for them.  Since they are older designs, you may already have the canvas and if so, write me an email and I'll be happy to send you the guide.  From this point on, these canvases will include the guide when you see them in a retail shop.

Here are the 5 new stitch guide designs:

H110A Pink Plaid Heart:  This guide I cannot take full credit for, because I discovered this canvas for sale online in mostly-stitched condition.  I simply completed it, the stitches were the choice of an unknown and very talented stitcher.  My contributions were the addition of the sequins, which are included with the stitch guide.  

HW114E Vintage Witch Candy Pail: Although there is already a wonderful stitch guide for this and the other 5 candy pails in this series by Cynthia Thomas, I had already started stitching this one on my own and decided to make a guide for my version.  This canvas will now come with 2 guides!  

C112-13 "Cats-tooth": Although this canvas is stitched entirely in Basketweave and it did not strictly speaking need a stitch guide,  I did make one for this listing the threads, colors and color placement since it is not stitched exactly as it is painted.  

C110 Cats-tooth Keychain: Ditto the above on this one, the guide will provide you the threads used and a short guide to the Basketweave stitch.  

C110A Black Cat Keychain: Trust me on this one that it is more complex than the photo can show (just like with a real black cat, LOL!) The background is a fun woven type stitch with silk & metallic and so are the eyes.  Fun and quick to stitch!  

Fun Little Kit Class From Suzie at Enriched Stitch!

Stitch-master Suzie at Enriched Stitch recently featured my Floating Hearts box top in one of her fun ZOOM stitch sessions.  It is 3 x 3 and will fit into a self-finishing box, plus there are 8 different stitches to learn.  The shop has kits in stock and ready to ship, click HERE to go to Enriched Stitch to shop! 

 

Prize Winners!

Very proud to see two of my canvases entered into the LA County Fair!  Thanks to Garden Gate Needlepoint for the photos, and congrats to Gloria & Dolores on their well earned ribbons!

Two Classes Coming Up Soon!

On August 18th, Kathy Hazlett will be teaching my Scattered Hearts canvas at Fancy Stitches:

And on November 10th, Cynthia Pigg will teach my Noel Trees.  As always, ghosts are welcome for both classes!

Just a reminder, my Quail club starts shipping this month, give Quail Run a call to sign up! 

Valentine's Week Full of Hearts!

Two really great finishes turned up recently.  This first one is my Bargello Hearts from the J/F 2017 issue of Needlepoint Now, turned into a great vinyl tool tote!

This one is really wonderful, my Floating Hearts canvas was rescued from an estate sale, already partially stitched.  The buyer completed the stitching and then had it finished into this dreamy pillow!
