I finally picked up my Spring Logs yesterday and decided on the border stitch and started stitching it – will show you a picture after I get a little more done. I don’t enjoy stitching borders because I find it boring but this is the perfect time for me to have some boring stitching as…

It has been a while since I wrote – when I was in Santa Fe at the EGA National Seminar a few weeks ago, I met someone who told me they “read my inactive blog”. I experienced a slight pang of guilt but then continued on my way hoping I’d post when I returned home. Now…

Chart Alert: A couple of charting errors have been discovered in Summer Logs. Click SummerLogCorrections to download them.I squealed with joy when I got the mail today and discovered a package from Caron Collection with a set of the new Watercolours. There are EIGHTEEN different colors! If you’re familiar at all with my work, you know…

Pandora’s Boxes chart alert: Two threads were left off the Supply List on the back page. They are Sampler Threads Midnight and Pearl Cotton #5 336. The page on the inside includes all of the threads so the conversions are okay. Future printings will be corrected.

I received this updated photo from Jana, who is stitching several of the Color Delights patterns on one piece of canvas. She is changing out some of the threads to make the colors blend around the Rainbow Color Delights in the center. She calls this piece her Color Delights “Mashup” – I think she’s doing a fabulous job! Here are her comments about…

I’m home from market and still madly trying to catch up. Late last night, I discovered I had neglected to put the instructions for the border in the Summer Logs pattern. I’ve sent it to all the shops who purchased it – if you need it, just let me know. Will write more this weekend…

I really enjoyed stitching this piece, using four different Watercolours along with a variety of other threads (silk, metallic, and cotton – solids and overdyes).  …

Here’s another of my new releases – I showed you bits and pieces while I was working on it. My mom made it into this fun fringed pillow and I have to admit, I squealed when I saw it for the first time yesterday when I arrived in North Carolina!Now I’m in Virginia for a…

I’m just about ready for the show next weekend. I’m leaving Monday though to drive up to NC to meet up with my mom who is coming to help me! We’re going a few days early to go to the Smithsonian in DC – I haven’t been since high school and have always wanted to…

I’ve made a lot of progress this week on the Closeouts (still have a few to mail out!) and now I’ve moved on to Preparations. I leave for market next Sunday and just finished the instructions for the last pattern and sent it to the printer. Now there’s all the administrative details to take care of, my class…
