All these wonderful canvases and now we need some new threads, books and bling, leading us into some more great new canvases! This is the new hand dyed silk thread from Gloriana called Duchess Silk in such luscious colors as Sweetheart Pink, Milk Chocolate and Halloween Green. I am very anxious to start stitching with it and it feels so soft in my hands.
A new book by June McKnight loaded with stitches created with Beading & Sequins and of course some First Lady Bling.
Some new colors by Dinky~Dyes, another one of my favorite threads!
A new book by Julia Snyder!
A new addition by Sundance Designs is a metallic tubing called Sparkles. You can do so much with this. Iron it flat, shred it apart to simulate a fire burning, scrunch it up…the possibilities are endless! Stitchpography, blog by Barbara Elmore really captures the feel of it being that she has created some wonderful effects with it already!
Silk wrapped Pearl Purl for the elegant touch and new colors of Kreinik! Purple Haze, Adventure Green, Indigo Blue and Stormy Weather.
My favorite Shogun, Yoshinaka by Leigh Designs.
One of the stitched Shogun’s amid some of Leigh’s Pagodas in assorted stages of being stitched.
One of Sharon G’s new canvases. I love this! I bought a skein of silk today that I think would be a great orange for this. I see such possibilities and the borders will be so much fun!
This morning, my day will start off with breakfast at Julienne’s with Meredith Willett and Allsion of A Stitch in Time. A quick trip to the bead shop and then to a canvas enhancement class with Meredith. I have my Angel Cat out by Ewe and Eye that I will take with me. I am sure that it will be a fun day as Meredith is such a hoot!
AlleyCat is chillin and I need to get going. and until next time…keep on stitching.
Thank you for showing off Yoritomo on display! I was dying to see the frame and Leigh’s set up at Market. He looks pretty good, even though I learned a few new bad words working all those backgrounds and adding all those beads.
My pleasure! Sorry that it is at such an angle, but I was trying to get no glare and no lights reflecting in the glass. The piece is wonderful!
Oh that Duchess Silk looks yummy!
Yes I am anxious to use it!
Awesome. Agree with you and Karen, the new Gloriana seems exciting, it is one of my favorite threads and I can’t wait to try this new one. dinky-Dyes also looks great. Do you know of any store that is already carrying them?
I am not sure yet who is carrying the Dinky~Dyes, but I believe that Amy’s Golden Strand will have the Gloriana.
Not to worry. I know what Yori looks like. I was curious about the frame and of course how the display was set up. Thanks to you I know!
