It seemed like a good idea at the time…a new canvas by Associated Talents. I guess someone might be on the naughty list! It would make a great pillow or a wonderful standup to set on the mantle so Santa would see it when he gets to your house.

Threads are needed to stitch all of these wonderful canvases. How about the selection of Painter’s Threads by Tentakulum of Germany? They really are hand painted and named after the famous artists such as Matisse, Monet, Van Gogh and so on.

I met the lady from Germany who really does paint these threads!

Access Commodities, home of Soie d’Alger and Bohin needles….2 of my favorites!

Planet Earth Fiber, home of Pepper Pot Silk, 6 ply Silk and more…

A colorful display of beautiful Treenway Silks which is now located in Colorado instead of Canada. I look forward to using their threads soon!. I know that Tony Minieri is a big fan of their line.

Speaking of Tony, a great picture with Suzanne, Doug Kreinik, Beth and Meredith…

Lots of errands today, watered all the plants, laundry and repacking to get ready to leave for Oregon before the sun is up. Sylvester is supervising the packing and gives me that look “can I go with you Mom?”

I still have lots more new to share with you, stitching and so much more, but it may be a few days until so, and again depending on internet connections. and until then…keep on stitching

I came home on a pretty plane. Wonder what tomorrow’s will look like?
