We came, We saw and We shopped!

“Kindness” by Sandra Gilmore was probably one of my favorite canvases at the show. Well there is always more than one stop me in my tracks and look twice, depending on if I feel like stitching serious or maybe elegant or stitching in the season or of course one can never stitch too many cat canvases!

This is a limited edition of just 10 canvases by Labors of Love. What makes this so special is that her hands, face, hair with ornaments and fan are hand sculpted. I can just imagine this canvas stitched with amazing stitches, beads, goldwork and oh my goodness, the possibilities are endless!

A Chinese Coat by Dream House Ventures. The expanses of the perfectly painted canvas in large swatches of colors make for great backdrops for stitches and thread selections!

This is a darling little canvas by dede of a baby elephant standing in the shadows of mother elephant. I see beads on the headress and ankle jewelry and the rest of the canvas done in a light stitch.

These geisha faces by Lani are amazing! I don’t know how I could select just one of these gorgeous canvases… maybe I would need to do all of them!

Colors of Praise is a relatively new artist and this was one of their new canvases for this market. This is a larger canvas and would be a great for an enhancement class.

This one is for you AlleyCat! Canvas is by HP Designs and is called “Standoff” and this is so her! I am sure when I open the door tonight, she will give me a mouthful of meows for about 10 minutes as she lets me know that she was not pleased that I left her. 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?
