During this important time of year, I like to work on a Christmas-themed needlepoint piece.  The triptych from Strictly Christmas has been my project of late.  And it is done!  The center panel shows the holy family. The left-hand panel has the shepherds and sheep: and the right hand panel has the kings: I love the way the designer incorporated the stained glass window theme, and the three panels will fit beautifully into the gold wooden frame from Deux Bijou Bijou. I look forward to teaching workshops  for these panels at Chandail Needlework in Houston, TX and Cr ..read more

Touching Earth, #CH223 from Melissa Shirley Designs, after a painting by Linda Carter Holman, is one of my favorite pieces I have ever stitched.  Who is she?  Mother Earth? And the possibilities for symbolism are endless: the sheep, the fish, the storm, the harvest, the pot.  The pot is stitched in Or Nue, a method that involves laying metallic thread on either side of a canvas thread, then couching over it with silk, all over one canvas thread. The pot shimmers.  Thanks to Melissa Shirley and Linda Carter Holman for such an enchanting design. As always, my teaching sch ..read more

It seems like we sometimes choose needlepoint designs based on personal experience.  I love this "Catch Me if You Can" design from Pippin Designs because it reminds me of going fishing in east Texas with my father.  Although these fish don't resemble the bream, crappie and large-mouth bass that we caught, they sure are going to be fun to stitch.  I'm picturing stitches that are wavy, scalloped, and slanting for the fish and a woven basket-y look for the large blue border.  Stay tuned... these fish have caught me! As always, my teaching schedule and list of available stitch ..read more

This last weekend I went to the TNNA Winter Needlepoint Market in San Jose, CA.  It is so exciting to spend time with the designers, the shop owners and the other teachers.  This is a shot of my table: here are a few of my finds: this great stylized reindeer from Melissa Prince Designs. My photo is crooked, but I will be stitching him soon and hope to teach him! I'm Yours from Sandra Gilmore, distributed by Fleur de Paris.  Wouldn't this be a sweet Valentine's pillow with initials in the center of the heart? In progress, the Williamsburg Wreath from Melissa Prince Designs ..read more
