Last I left you and we were talking about REAL stitching, we were in Atlanta talking about the amazing class at In Stitches with the Embellishment Squad…

I thought that I would go back to the first day. This beautiful canvas by Colors of Praise was being stitched by the Niedra (and excuse me if the spelling is not correct!) who was sitting next to me. Now notice…as I did, how the personalized magnets that they made for us just blend into the canvas. This first day Meredith was at our fearless leader and she was helping her create these beautiful earrings! A special stitch was created to follow the turn of her sleeve.

Another amazing stitch that was just dreamed up for this Zecca canvas by The Embellishment Squad that was being stitched by Linda.

Note the perfectly matched frameweight designed by Carol Eix that was holding down Elizabeth Hurd’s canvas!

Look at that most amazing mushroom that Meredith demonstrated in an Elizabeth Trellis Stitch and ruched Sparkle Rays!

We had a visit from Lou, Tony’s husband, as he came by to teach how to make some  amazing ribbon roses. I was so thrilled to meet Lou as all these years I have known Tony and heard him talke about Louis, I had never I met him. Lou you need to come to the West Coast when Tony is out here teaching!

Look at those beautiful roses!

Okay I am off at 0dark30 Saturday morning to visit with Brenda at A Stitch in Time…no class, just sit and stitch and visit with everybody, so I will see you in a few days. I am going to keep on this thread about The Embellishment Squad until all the pictures that I took are shared with you!

My kids…

and until next time…keep on stitching
