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:

   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!

Everyone is asking about the new restaurant going in where Busters was for nearly 30 years.

It is going to be a French bistro with a wine bar, bakery ( chocolate croissant , anyone?) , and a market( cheeses ,breads, pate and wonderful goodies). The plan is to open mid January . I will keep you posted on the opening and hours so you can come for coffee and a pastry or lunch and shop/visit with us.

À bientôt.
