Facebook issues

I apologize for the posts on the Facebook page feed.
The account had been hacked and I am trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible without taking down the whole page. Just one of the many problems of having a page on Facebook for the business today.

Market news

I have been busy getting ready for market. I was fortunate to be able to attend a Thursday class taught by Laura Taylor. Another wonderful canvas from Melissa Shirley Designs entitled, Saquaro Table , was the class project . I learned many techniques to pass on to you to add dimension and interest to any canvas. I used some new threads and learned several new stitches. It was such a treat to sit in class , stitch and learn !

                                             

                                           Saquaro Table   9×11″ on 18 ct.

Today was set up day. I wanted the booth to display my Quail Run Designs like you would in 
your home and am pleased with the results.

                        
                       
                       
  

 Here are a few new items in the shop already from market:

Porcupine Quill Laying Tools
                        
 
Desert Island Stitches  By Carole Lake and Michale Boren . Call to 
reserve your copy.

                                        
   Colorful tool/thread organizers with clear plastic zipper pockets. 
                       
 Here is a picture of my class for tomorrow morning before market opens. I enjoy learnign and seeing all my friends from across the country. It is just fun to sit , stitch. learn and chat!
                                       

So stop by the shop next week to see these class projects and let me show you some great new ideas to learn on  your canvases.

Having a Sweet Christmas

This time of year we have all the wonderful decorations and those delicious , tempting sweets. 
It has always been so much fun to create a gingerbread house each year . 

                                                  Gingerbread House Christmas 2014
It is also a great time to stitch a gingerbread ornament – the no calorie kind!
Here is the one I am working on from Julia’s Needlework Designs that will be a little box with a hinged lid.
                                           I thought I would share some of my favorite stitches for gingerbread. On this one I am using
upright cross stitch.
Some other stitches that work well are  Serendipity, Nobuko, Criss cross Hungarian  and  Woven. Each gives a little texture to the design.

So enjoy stitching and all the season’s goodies!
