There’s No Place Like Home!

and isn’t that the truth? as much as I love travelling and seeing new shops, taking classes, sightseeing and all that goes with that…there really is no place like home!

Destination Dallas’ theme this year was “There’s No Business Like Sew Business” Ooh did you really think that I had nothing left to share with you? Shudder the thought! Some of the designers really get into the mood and cleverly decorate their rooms to the theme of the show. This was the door way to the room of The Point of It All Designs and Hyla’s High Cotton. Hyla outdid herself!

Speaking of High Cotton…look at all these wonderful colors! and, and this amazing Point of It All Design called “Nouveau Heron” that is being stitched by Sue Haines. Stitch selection by Brenda Hart.

Speaking of Sue Haines, she was kind enough to model her darling apron for us! I have known Sue for along time and we haven’t had a chance to visit and gab for years. We sure made up for lost time!

Wonderful new designs by Sandra Gilmore of Once in a Blue Moon. This would be wonderful in a child’s room and the latter one is designed to be a footstool.

I love this one…bead the letters and look for a wonderful background pattern and you’re done! This canvas is by Unique New Zealand. Too clever, isn’t it?

The kids were keeping me company on the couch last night as I was stitching away. Great baseball and great stitching! I am sad to say that I need to take a break from stitching on Bastet, my Egyptian Cat Goddess for awhile. A few new projects for stitch guides and a wonderful new piece that you will soon see in Needlepoint Now in the July/August issue have moved to the front of the queue. There are 4 of us now that will be stitching it together as the stitch guide evolves for the magazine, well we will actually be ahead of it all. You know, work out all the kinks and make sure that it is just purr~fect for you!

Time for me to get to work! and until next time…keep on stitching

About Vicky

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?
