We were working away, stitching and learning and stitching and just having a grand ‘ole day with The Embellishment Squad at A Stitch in Time…when, well some mischief started happening.
See its got something to do with some college basketball stuff and an ongoing rivalry between Meredith’s Kentucky Blue and some other team of Maryellen’s.
Some shoes were being held hostage and tied high from the ceiling…and BTW at this point I was called over to take pictures.
Maryellen who had to wear that Kentucky blue shirt, all of a sudden found her hands tied up with a skein of some kinda thread…gosh I hope that they didn’t use the real expensive stuff!
I laughed so hard, I don’t know how I was even able to take these pictures! Such a fun day, that it should have been deemed immoral or illegal!
Seriously, even though we had so much fun, we still stitched up a storm, worked hard and learned a lot. But needlepoint is all about having fun, right?
I am happy to report that I have completed the end of my “must stitch deadline pieces!” stitch guides are written and actually I can actually stitch something that I want to stitch for myself this weekend…but what piece do I want to pick up?
In the meantime, I am getting to hit the road soon as I head to Destination Dallas and then onto Myrtle Beach for the ANG seminar.
AlleyCat is supurr~vising!
A laugh a minute, no, wait, a second?! The purr-fect supurrvisor!
of course!
Y’all have too much fun! But on a more serious note, I’ve been looking for good lighting for stitching. What can you tell me about the goose-neck lamps that appear to be clamped on everyone’s canvases? Did the shop provide them? Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

A lot of us were using the new Koncept lights… but I need to go back and look. No we bring our own lights!
Thank you for checking! These look a little different than those on the Koncept website, but good to know that you’re using the Koncepts.
Thanks!!

I think at that table there is a combination of lights… the black one on the end is Litt-Lite which is actually one that is used on musician’s notes. I have one and it travels with me long distance cause it’s so light! There is the little inexpensive “Jansjo” one from Ikea which I have too, which is the white one that you see at the other end of the table. There could be some Stella’s too! But everyone brings their own!
Thank you!! One of your readers sent me this link to a clip-on Newhouse light — just FYI. Looks good for $18.95!

great! and thanks for sharing with us!
SOME OTHER TEAM!!! ARE YOU KIDDING? GO HOOSIERS!
Here is some additional info: Meredith bought me a Kentucky blue shirt ages ago to wear. She also has an Indiana basketball shirt ~ a gift from me. Rather than wearing her shirt, I created another one ~ I call it my “Kentucky Blew It” shirt. Needless to say, Meredith was not pleased… 😉
Thanks for adding the info Maryellen! It was quite entertaining and laughed so much!
