Reunited and it Feels So Good

The coven has been reunited!  Becki stitched this Melissa Shirley series of fairy tale witches.  Just back from an amazing finisher!

covenShe has stitch guides for Helowise, Gunilda and Ingride.  The guides  for Ethelfrith and

Luella are in the works.

flying

Meet Ingride and the Broom.  This is an upcoming class planned at the shop on

Canvas: $148   Thread Kit: TBD

Class Date: June 21st 10-3  Class Fee $75

Kits and Stitch Guides will be available

gunilda

Here’s Gunilda and her cauldron.  Becki had the last class pulling their hair out over “ensnared Flair”

helowise

Helowise the Peddler was the first in the series that Becki taught.

luella-1

Luella is definitely my favorite.  Not only the piece and the stitching, but the embellishments on the finishing are unbelievable.luella-2

Cheryl (the finisher) made a beaded snake, mimicking the snakes that Becki made by Peyote beading.

leulla-3poison-bottle

Where does she find teeny tiny poison bottles?

And last but not least, Ethelfrith and her cat.

eltherfrith

Call or email to sign up for the class.  Kits are available, as well.

Susan Portra -Round 2

It’s taken me a while to get to this blog, but this is a little taste of what we worked on with Susan Portra in the second round of her “Bring Your Canvas to Life” class.

andrea

Andrea worked on this classic JP fish. I can’t wait to see the stretched Flair on the tail.

IMG_2364

Linda worked on one of my all time favorite pieces.  I love stitching vicariously through someone else.IMG_2370

Kate worked on this beautiful piece.  IMG_2371

Our very own Becki worked on a Janice Gaynor piece.  What to do with all of those curves?  This is probably the only time I will ever hear Becki say “All six strands?”  If you know Becki’s stitching, she uses very little thread.  But, you gotta try different things!IMG_2372

Wanda worked on another of my favorites, the Lani Wine Collage.  It is going to be stunning!  And what a great idea to paint out the word “vineyard” and replace it with her last name.  Love it!IMG_2374

Susan did the coolest thing on this beard.  I have been stumped by this for over 6 months. Now I know!  Twist together 3 strands of Bella Lusso and work in a stem/outline stitch, creating a fake bullion.  Brilliant!

You’re probably wondering what I worked on with  Susan.  That’s another blog.  I worked on 7 or so different pieces with her.  I know. . .I’m nuts!

Free Canvas Embellishment Classes!!!!

Join us on Saturday mornings 
10-12 for 
FREE canvas embellishment classes!!!

Classes begin Memorial Day Weekend

Class size limited to 8 students.

Registration opens at 10 am on Tuesday each week. Call or email to sign up.

One of our teachers will work with the group selecting stitches and threads to enhance your canvas.
Canvas must be purchased from the shop and be unstitched.
 A lot of people think that canvas embellishment means putting a lot of stuff all over your canvas.  What it actually means is using different stitches and threads on the canvas, as opposed to a straight basketweave piece (not that there’s anything wrong with that).  This is what makes a canvas come alive and stitching more fun.
Here’s an original canvas.
partridge
Look at what Mary Susan did with Julia Snyder in an embellishment class.

Finishing

twas-1

Mary Susan created this precious family heirloom and had it finished as a music box  It plays “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”  All she did was order music box movements online and the finisher inserts it into the back.
twas-2

We do have a stitch guide for this piece, in case anyone is wondering.

partridge-1

I stitched this cute Maggie piece. Guess what song my music box plays?  partridge-2

We’ve got a stitch guide for this canvas, as well.

trick-2

Debbie finished her Raymond Crawford canvas that Vicki De Angelis taught when she came to the shop last summer.  Vicki did the guide for this.  Maybe I’ll finish mine one day.

msm-partridge-1

This beauty just came back and I had to squeeze it into this blog.  Mary Susan has been a busy little stitching beaver while she is laid up after ankle surgery.  She stitched this piece with suggestions from Julia Snyder during an embellishment class.  Look what comes from these fabulous classes.  I can’t wait for Julia to come back in September.  If you’ve never taken a class with Julia, you definitely should.  More on that later.
