Wellesley Needlepoint that is! A darling little shop in the heart of the quaint little town.

Reminds me of what La Jolla was like years ago with all of these wonderful shops.

Of course this is my favorite shop!

Cindy Mathews, owner of Wellesley and I were busy little bees on Saturday as we readied the canvases for class on Sunday. That’s good cause it kept me off the streets and my charge card in my wallet, but I did make just enough time for a visit to Wellesley Bookstore. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, as if the San Diego weather had followed me there!

Selecting just the perfect threads, beads, Kreinik and embellishments, while I was agonizing over the just right stitch combined with the amazing thread selection that was in the shop. Canvases by Annie Lane along with J&J Designs.

Moo Chef

Red Rooster

Danger Lurks

Finding Agnes

Cape Cod Houses by J & J Designs. There was one more J & J canvas, but I forgot to take a picture!

Class was wonderful and the stitchers were very enthusiastic! I gave them lots of ideas, several stitches personally charted for them, handfuls of threads, some direction and they just ran with it. Makes it very exciting for me to see the canvases come to life with stitches.

and meet Famous Amos! a real love…

We had a special guest come and stitch with us for the day and then a funny thing happened on the way to dinner… tell ya tomorrow!

and for now it is Saturday morning, so I am sure you can guess where I am headed? Plus I need a 14″ mini bar for my class at EGA seminar in a few short weeks. I probably have 10 pairs of 13″, but do I have a 14″? Go figure!

and until next time…keep on stitching
