Well here he is in living color! Mr. Crow and he looks mahvelous dahling. I am absolutely thrilled with how handsome he is. Thank you to Melissa Shirley for creating such an amazing canvas…thank you to Wendy of Aristea for allowing me the opportunity to stitch him…thank you to Sew Much Fun for doing such a wonderful job finishing him and hand carrying him to the show.

Owls are everywhere! This is by Maggie and the colors are wonderful. I can see some amazing overdye threads being used in this one.

The Owl & the Pussycat by Sharon G. The border fascinates me and the possiblities are countless. I am have to add this to my want to stitch in this life time list!

This turtle is magnificent! Wow! A new artist and this was taken from a painting to needlepoint canvas. Amazing work. This canvas is from Lund Enterprises.

Here it is in a smaller size made to fit perfectly into a HP Lacquer Box. There is a beautiful blue tulip wood box that they have that may just be the perfect color.

The show has been great, with countless new canvases to tempt us for our stitching pleasure! Threads, bags, scissors, books, magnets and new laying tools too. Decisions! Decisions! Today the show starts an hour earlier for last minute running around, oh I need to order this, I need to order that and where has the time gone to? The show comes to a close today and it seems to end all too quickly.

Tonight I change venues and will be moving to Scottsdale for a few nights. I am staying over an extra day for my Crazy Quilt Class at BeStitched. I have been enjoying working on it so far as I ready the foundation stitches so that Kelly can teach how she worked the seam treatments, the flower baskets and the bunny rabbit. I may not be back for blog writing for a few more days as I may be stitching in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow…then I need to get home to a mouthful of meows from you know who!
