Texas, is where I was last week, attending EGA’s South Central Regional Seminar. Mom and I went together and took classes and had a great time – it’s always interesting to be a student instead of the teacher! When we drove across the border from Louisiana to Texas, we stopped at the Welcome Center and…

 I’ve finished Calypso Squares! It’s the latest in my Edibles collection and will include a recipe for Calypso Cookies. It’s at the printer and will be sent to the auto shops June 1st. If you’re a shop not on my auto, you can sign up anytime! I used 18 different bright Watercolours and five of Kreinik’s holographic braids.…

We’re going to just ignore the fact I haven’t blogged in forever…   Here’s a photo of my Spring Logs made into a pillow by my fabulous finisher mother!   It was a hit at the Nashville show and my donated canvas was won by Village Sampler in St Albans, West Virginia. I was thrilled…

I matted 12 of my Color Delights designs together – I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time to have a better way to display them in a smaller space. The overall size of the mat is 16×20 and the black really sets off the bright colors.   From top left the colors…

All of my new releases for market are done and printed…whew! The last completed was BlackJack and I designed and stitched the whole piece in 12 days! Of course it was in my head for months before coming out on the canvas! There are 324 squares in the piece and 292 unique patterns (36 squares were…

A very productive trip to the framer this morning…I’m getting ready for the Nashville market in a few weeks so I picked out mats and frames for two new pieces. I picked up a few mats I had cut with multiple openings to display all my Color Delights and Double Delights in a more efficient…

  I’ve been working on Winter Logs which I’ll be releasing at the Nashville market at the end of February. I’m thinking this one doesn’t need a border but I’ll probably chart one anyway. I haven’t decided if I’ll actually stitch it or not… Here’s a sneak peek: Last week I finalized the details for teaching at Nashville…

2013 is off to a great start. I’m feeling so productive! I finished a project last night and another tonight! My second of four “Logs” patterns is completely stitched and will be one of my releases at the Nashville market at the end of February. This is a bit of a sneak peek of “Spring Logs”…

to feel a lot like Christmas! I put up my tree this past weekend and actually couldn’t fit all my ornaments on it! I finished cleaning out my storage unit and found a box of ornaments I had in the shop that I kept for myself. They really filled up the tree and I had to leave…

A friend who was in New Hampshire for a wedding wandered into ABC Stitch Therapy and saw this awesome framed Amazing Color. They painted the frame to match the stitching! It’s, well, Amazing!
