Calling all Counted Design Enthusiasts!

Counted needlepoint designs are sometimes intimidating to many stitchers. I encourage those of you who 
have been considering to try this form of needlepoint to join us for talented Sue Reed’s class , Mystery of Life.
The class is two days, October 13 (Thursday) and October 14 (Friday) from 101m-4pm.
                           
                             



 Rhythmic patterns are stitched to form three separate interlaced designs reminiscent of Celtic/British Isles knots. The center is comprised of four knots that abut, with carefully placed colors to make the knots appear as one large knot. The border pattern, a basic knot adaptation, is expanded to flow entirely around the design. At each corner an interlaced motif weaves into the basic pattern to create another dimension to the corner turn. Quiet areas of solid-color patterns bring texture to the background and allow for a visual resting place. 
The model is on display in the store , so stop by. You can also register online-

Getting ready for Fall -already!

June has arrived so summer is here and that means hot weather as well as my reminder to get the new designs off to the painters so they return in time for the Fall Needlework Show in September.

I have started working on the Fall classes and new models for the store. Pumpkins are a favorite of  mine so  I have chosen this canvas.

             

It is just 10 x12″ and has lots of “character” so I have chosen fun threads, beads and other embellishments. No doubt things will change as the pieces evolves. I keep a notebook close at hand to jot down the stitches and threads so I can create the stitch guide when I am done. It is always fun to start a new design.

Don’t forget Stitch and Chat on Tuesdays, Thursdays  from 1-4pm and Saturdays from 11-2pm.This is a greatway to meet new friends, chat and stitch- never mind escaping the triple-digit temperatures!

Please join us if  your are visiting-we would love to stitch with you.

See you soon!
