I went to my ANG meeting last night and this is what I saw. I’m in love yet again! This is not fair…

San Diego (CA) ANG is excited to announce a workshop by Margaret Bendig, called East Meets Southwest on 27 & 28 October 2013. The design is stunning and pictures simply do not do this stitched design justice. There are many laid and composite stitches that fully cover the 18 count canvas. The background is a subtle cream colored bamboo design that enhances the kimono perfectly. Margaret is offering 2 color choices, Turquoise/Copper or Sage Green/Copper/Cream. The workshop registration fee includes canvas, stitch guide, full skeins of silks and metallics, color photo, and 2 days of instruction. Ghost stitchers are welcome. The registration deadline is September 14, 2013.

The registration flyer and color photo are available at our website www.sdang.org. Please contact us if you have additional questions or need more information at workshop@sdang.org

The pictures do not do it justice. It is really absolutely breathtaking in person! and what am I thinking? By the time that this class starts, I will have just begun stitching on 2 new large projects from seminar et al and be in a stitching frenzy for the 2014 Winter TNNA Market held here in San Diego…again I will say, what am I thinking? Ooh, help me I have no will power.

I came across the cartoon last week and it brought back purr~fect memories of Felix. He loved, loved, loved sleeping on top of the tv and also riding around on my shoulder! In his aging years, he couldn’t jump up that high anymore so I would help him. As big as he was he would never have been able to fit on top now…I still miss you buddy.

and until next time…keep on stitching

I am thinking…since I have not been doing much stitching as I ready for my excursions, have nothing new to share in the way of canvases, threads, bags and toys…and to spare you the boredom of going on ad naseuam about seminar and Fab 4 class, I think that the blog and I will just take the week off. See you from the ANG seminar…soon!
