Stitching by The Dock of the Bay!

Really? Seriously! last Saturday was our class with Diane Hermann for her outlandishly popular Walking the Waters Edge. We couldn’t have had a more perfect venue, literally stitching by the dock of the bay!

Here’s the piece and really it is all floss, a little pearl cotton and some beads!

and no I didn’t get this much done in class…see my wave count was off in the last few repeats and even though no one would ever know that, it was driving me absolutely craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy! So I had to figure it out, which I did and stitching this piece is sorta kinda like eating potato chips…you just want another.

This was my latest and newest magnet from my sistah Meredith! I really should’ve had a starfish or something like that, but this will do just fine. I was also practicing my bullion knots which create the starfish.

Well it’s Saturday morning and you know what that means…breakfast at The Cottage! But no wait, we are trying a new place this morning, Sugar and Scribe that opened across the street from The Cottage. Gosh I feel like a traitor….shhh, please don’t tell them.

some play time yesterday with that silly girl.

and until next time…keep on stitching

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. My Water’s Edge kit was shipped yesterday, can’t wait for it to arrive. I see some serious counting in my future. Your work is beautiful as always.

    • That’s a good question!I have a metal bakers rack where many live, on the side of the pc tower (that I don’t use anymore) and many on the canvases. I do give many of them as gifts too!

  2. How old are AlleyCat and Sylvester? The photos always showcase their pretty glossy black (and white) fur, but the black really shines. Walking the Waters Edge is such a beautiful canvas. I’m sure any slight mis-counts are easily overlooked by the eye. I hope you finish this one, what with your history of not finishing all your class pieces! Enjoy your additional eating spot. You will not abandon The Cottage forever, so don’t feel sneaky…!

    • Let’s see Sylvester is almost 18 and the brat better known as AlleyCat is 9. This piece will get finished since it is not an overwhelming commitment of time!
