Canvases by Ruth Schmuff…stitching by me! Way back when I first started doing the blog, do you remember how I was teasing you with snippets of something that I was stitching? well this is it! and you too can stitch these by signing up with Ruth at Bedecked and Beadazzled or your favorite needlework shop by saying I want the Silly, Sassy, Sparkly Sock Club! I enjoyed doing these so much that I might need to sign up myself so that I can stitch them for my very own Christmas tree! Can I sign up Ruth?

Ruth teases me with canvases every once in a while by sending me pictures to see if something makes my heart jump a beat. Well we had been exchanging e-mails for a bit while she was trying so very hard to tempt me with something that I just had to stitch. As soon as I saw the pictures of these socks, I knew this was it!

The first two stitched up so quickly, as the needlepoint gods were smiling down on me as the stitches worked, the ideas worked, well it just all came together. The third one started to be a little challenge and the other 3, well I was at a loss. This was just before the holidays, so thought it was time to take a break from stitching. Anyway it was almost to time to go back east to spend the holidays with my family, then it would be off to the Winter TNNA Market in Long Beach and soon after that I would actually be at Ruth’s shop Bedecked and Beadazzled where we could brainstorm on finishing them up.

I am thrilled with the way that they were finished and the photography of them, none of which I can take credit for! It is really exciting for me to see them all together. Even AlleyCat got into the picture, and until next time…keep on stitching
