So what exactly is or who is The Embellishment Squad?

a large group of crazy and wild stitchers gather together in a shop or in a hotel… with Suzanne Howren, Tony Minieri and Meredith Willett as they team teach. We miss Beth Robertson as she was taken from us and the group way toooooooo soon. You are gone Beth, but never far from our thoughts…

These three collaborate to create some of the best looking canvases you will ever see! Each day your table works with one of the teachers perfecting the ideas that they worked up a few months prior from a color copy of your canvas, adding ideas, changing threads and so much more!

here we see Elizabeth working on her canvas by Tapestry Fair getting great tips from Suzanne! Ansley is busy photobombing!

A group of great friends from Alabama and well Carol from Texas too!

and we stitch and we stitch and we stitch some more, learning from the best! Tony was demonstrating a wrapped picot stitch…did I get that name right? well I do remember how to do it!

I have taken this class more times that I can count! and if the cats would allow me to, I would travel and take this class each and every time that they teach it.

Jeanene, the owner of this most amazing shop In Stitches is watching Meredith create some magic here!

a few shots of In Stitches…see I told you it was a most amazing shop!

I always have a box or two on the floor for the kids…but it seems that Sylvester would rather be on the bag!

and until next time…keep on stitching
