To The Enriched Stitch in Wilton, CT on the weekend of July 20th. Canvas by Alice Peterson, “The Red Bike” is a class that I will be teaching at this wonderful new shop…well not really new, but sorta kinda new.

A fun canvas to stitch with beads, French knots, Rhodes heart stitch…did I say beads? darning pattern backgrounds and wrapped stitches for the wheels.

I am so looking forward to seeing this exciting shop, feeling the energy, seeing the new classroom that Suzie has designed, along with all the wonderful threads, canvases and needlepoint toys that she has.

I have been seeing some wonderful stitching coming out of here and I am so looking forward to seeing these pieces up close and in person.

Or if the bicycle doesn’t make your heart sing…what about Raymond Crawford’s Trick or Treat?

Halloween is not far away and this is totally doable to have it finished for this year’s Halloween decorating. Explore a variety of beading techniques with a myriad of bead types.

So please come join us for a fun and relaxing day of stitching! Call Suzie at The Enriched Stitch 196 Danbury Road, Wilton, CT 06897. (203) 210-5107 to reserve your spot!

I am still at the Poodle Plantation in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where it has been hotter than in San Diego? what is wrong with this picture?

We are working away in the studios of Needlepoint Now as we start the process on the September/October issue. I know that when I get back home in San Diego I will need to hit the ground running between magazine work, stitch guides and stitching. Not to forget spending lots of time with the cats and then of course lots of time with the cats. I wonder what they are up to? and how much mischief they are getting into?
