I was up at 0 dark 30 yesterday and in case you don’t know what time that is, it is way before the sun is up! Am I out of my mind or what? Getting up and out that early? Well when it comes to taking a class with Meredith, or any needlepoint class…no problem!

Okay the burning question was, well what canvas to start with Meredith? Not that I will have time to spare to work on anything for moi, but it is all about the journey. I narrowed it down to two, Angel Cat by Ewe & Eye or…

this canvas by Needle Crossings which says it purr~fectly! We settled on Angel Cat and I have ideas for this one with the saying, I just need to decide on the threads.

Meredith was channelling her inner Vanna White as she gave me the grand tour of the new bead bar at A Stitch in Time. 

Meredith was busy selecting threads, taking notes and measurements for this darling Halloween canvas!

Time before class was going to start as Meredith is busy writing stitch guides and looking at the work from yesterday’s classes. Angel Cat is sitting in front of her as she thinks of threads and stitches.

I sat down for class and shared my end of the table with the new fobs. If I was working on an Easter project, I would need that one with the ducks…too cute!

Meredith is working her magic on the Halloween Parade…ooh would I love to stitch this! The discussion was which new parade do we like better? Thanksgiving or 4th of July?

I love what she is doing with the trick or treat bag…OMG!

I had a great time in class and learned such new things as cast on bullions, puffy couching and using a layer of tulle to create the angel wings. Meredith will be coming back to A Stitch in Time at the end of May for more classes, including this canvas and hopefully a little more canvas enhancement classes. There is just too much to learn and not enough time!

Sylvester is giving me “the look” which in his cat language means “feed me!” and until next time…keep on stitching
