Sandy's Stitching

 FALL IS STARTING TO SHOW SOME SIGNS HERE IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

One of the first things that we notice is how many leaves fill the skimmer baskets here at our pool.  Keeps hubby hopping.  Then we have these little sporadic spurts of a slight chill in the air - just an ever so slight breeze.  I don't mind fall but I sure do not look forward to winter.  Enough said

ONLINE MYSTERY CLASSES

This past week was the monthly posting for our Online Mystery Classes.  

We had to say goodbye to our cute, cute, cute Scarecrow that is guarding the Fall Welcome Wreath created by PLDesigns.

This little fellow had so much going on that we made it an 8 session class instead of 6 sessions.  We still had some pretty full lessons though to get it all in but we made it!

Our Kissmas Eve class was dedicated to giving Santa his suit.  Cut trims on his jacket, etc.  Only one more session to go for this cute design.

The next class was Just Add Water.  This is a companion piece to one we did earlier Just a Sip. One reason we chose this design was because of some shared areas to make them compatible.  This lesson we concentrated on the wallpaper, the curtains and the topiary at the tub's end.

TO MARKET, TO MARKET

Well my blog postings might be a little sparse for the next few weeks.  We are going to exhibit at market which we have not done in over 20 years.  This year is it going to be a Virtual Market.  We are all excited about it as it is a new adventure for everyone and we'll be doing lots of learning and sharing.  We are also anxiously awaiting our canvases from painters which likely will not happen.  But, the shops know that and they know at everyone is in the same boat.  So we will be c concentrating on giving information so that the shops can order and be on the list for the inventory when it does arrive.

I am having so much fun preparing.  I do wish I had some turbo stitchers.  I feel pieces don't always show their full potential just as a painted canvas.  Many of us bring our to life with needle and thread.  I am introducing some whimsical designs that I can't wait to share.  Also I am retiring some of the more popular older class pieces and having them  converted to painted canvases. We'll be offering some stitch guides as well.  So things are very exciting around here right now.

ETSY SHOP - duodesignsbySandra

As I stated the last couple weeks, we continue to add stitch guides to our shop.  We pull in a few older designs as well as some of the newer ones.  It always surprises me what people are looking for.  So take a look.  The very one you are looking for just might be there!

Look at this guy!

Not sure of the official name but I call him Jellyfish.  He is from Melissa Shirley designs.

That's gotta be it for this week.  Until next time be sure to stay safe!
