PLAYING CATCH UP!

Just been home a week from our fantastic Mediterranean Cruise and still not unpacked.  Clothes have been unpacked and laundry done bu the stitching 'stuff' is spread spread all over the place.

Hubby and I had the misfortune of picking up a little bug - I guess on the plane - and we have not been feeling 100%. However we are making progress and hope that is behind us now.

Had no time to slow down however as it is time for Online Mystery Class postings. This month we said goodbye to two of our current classes.

Gossips from Strictly Christmas  managed to get the last little Gossip dressed.




Santa Tag from Strictly Christmas was a lot of fun.  While this design had a plethora of techniques, fun threads and finished, and gobs of stitches, it turned out beautifully and did not look tacky or overcrowded!


This Session introduced the addition of leather to needlepoint designs.  Looking good and something different.

Next up is Just a Sip!


Ha! Ha!  Her hair was so much fun!

Hotel reservation information for the upcoming ANG national seminar to be held in Tucson, AZ for 2020 has also been posted.

I am fortunate to be teaching classes there.  


Crazy Needles Journey

Ribbons, Beads, a kazillion techniques, oh my!  This piece got its name because stitches used have a 'traveling' feel to them - Hungarian, Parisian, Dutch, French, etc., get it?


Flags of Glory

A fun piece to work!  Playing with different shading, stitch manipulation, ribbons, beads, sequins.  Love this piece.
