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!  

Finished and Fabulous!!

 Two great finishes, Mistletoe Kitty by Diane G. and Cardinals Star by Sarita B!  

Have You Seen the "All Stitched Up!" Newsletter?

"All Stitched Up!" is a weekly email newsletter published by Inspirations magazine, a quarterly print publication that features some of the world's most amazing needlework.  Recently they have been inviting their readers to send in photos of what they are working on, and I was thrilled to see some EyeCandy there!

Edna T. sent several photos of the beautiful pieces she has completed, among them is "Glamour Puss"!  What a great frame she picked to showcase her perfect stitching!
