June is 20- Woven

June 20 -

ANG registration time for the Distance Learning Classes for 2020 Tucson Seminar is dwindling day by day.  In other words the clock is ticking!  Have you registered? Great opportunity to take extra classes that you would not have been able to do in the f2f venue so take advantage of the situation!

MAINE RETREAT

We optimistically are working on our Maine Retreat for October!  Fingers crossed.  I will be teaching the fun Peanut Butter & Jelly design.

There are limited spots so be sure to reserve yours. Check the information from the host Art Needlepoint for specific details.

Come to the magical Maine Coast.  Soak up some sun, fresh air, and great food. 

Join other Needlepointistas near the ocean for a fun time 

with lots to do when not stitching. 

Event is Oct 9 - 11, 2020

All skill levels welcome! 

 The crowds are gone. The leaves are in their full glory. 

 Two full days of stitching with Master Certified Teachers. 

We have a preliminary brochure we can email for the class projects 

after you register so that you can pick your project and teacher. 

The information will also include the accommodations  in BoothBay Harbor, Maine - 

 the code to save $$ on your kit and your hotel reservations

and other information.  

It is a limited space.

Registration fee is one time.

Of the registration fee $250 deposit is non refundable.  

Registration is on a first come first serve basis. 

We like to keep our classes small, so registration will close when the classes are at their capacity.   

 Needles UP!  Email or call us for more information 


Shared the monthly lessons this week for the current classes.

Merry Kissmas Eve from PLD has their second session.  More done on the window area.



Then we added a session to the Fall Welcome Wreath also from PLD- featured acorns and flowers this month.

And again we had to bid farewell to one of our pieces.  At the Seashore from Sandra Gilmore was a lot of work and had a multitude of different things going on -perspective - textures - techniques - moods - but we managed to get it finished!


Now we are concentrating on the new guys coming on board.  Next month we will be adding Just Add Water - CBK Designs. She is the companion to our recently finished Just a Sip!


Just email us to duodesignsinc@yahoo.com to get in on this class.  We will begin mid-July so still time.

Then we'll venture out a little and instead of a mystery you'll get to see the completed project.  Our Spring Welcome from PLD Designs is going to go through the steps of doing needle felting on needlework. This class will work for the beginner so don't hesitate to join in. I introduced this technique at market many years ago and it is catching on more and more.


But wait!  That's not all.  We'll do some beading, some appliqué, some needle weaving and how about some stump work? Lots to look forward to on this guy.  So come join us and sign up by sending an email to duodesignsinc@yahoo.com and we'll get you on the list. This is an all-inclusive class:  handpainted canvas, threads and embellishments, detailed diagrams and illustrations,  and felting needle.  Optional felting tools will also be offered All you need is an open mind and willingness to have a good time!. We'll start playing with this guy mid-November.  Come on and join in for what is sure to be fun!

Our Lovable Llama from Gayla Elliott is scheduled for mid-October pending canvas availability.


Oh the impishness (I guess that's a word 'cause it didn't light up!) of this fellow. 

We certainly can't forget our Noah's ark - Two by Two from Strictly Christmas. We hope to start these guys mid-September - again depending on canvas availability.


Can you see that cute little lamb on Noah's arm?  Every time I look at this piece I see something cuter and cuter!

I have shuffled dates so much that I hope I have this correct - lol.  Stitching a panda on the Llama might not work too well!

        SO:  To sign up for any and all of these wonderful and happy projects just send email to duodesignsinc@yahoo.com
