Catching up...
Wow, a lot has happened since I last posted. It always suprises me how much time has passed since my last entry. And to think that I promised to do better!
I was a lucky girl and able to go to Liberty Gathering in Liberty MO and Primitives of the Midwest in Lee's Summit MO. Both events were fantastic! Well put together, great teachers and fun details that made it special to be a part of. I traveled with three great friends, one of which made her very first airplane ride. This was the first time we had done anything like this and we managed perfectly! Lots of laughing and LOTS of spending!!! I took a class from the primitive goddess Maggie Bonanomi and the quilt goddesses Barb Adams and Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs. Wonderfully fun!
One of the classes that Barb and Alma taught was journaling. I am not a scrapbooker, never wanted to be. It always seemed to cutsey and strict for me. Well, B&A have completely changed my mind. I'm in a scrapbook frenzy. Well, more journaling than scrapbooking...but fun! I've even signed up for an online class with Donna Downey. Here is the info about it....can't wait to get started: Then I found many great online shops since we don't have a scrap store in this area. Mary Beth Lemley is the owner of and her customer service can't be beat! Okay, enough about another addiction!
So I have been behind all summer because I traveled more than usual. And was in the hot weather slump. I had planned on having a design out in June but only got it back from the framer today. So it's going to market with me next month. But I will tempt you with a picture...it's called The Big Red House and is stitched on 36 count Autumn Gold by Lakeside Linens using Needlepoint Silk. The other piece that I picked up today is called Liberty. It's a design on 35 ct 18th Century Rook by R&R using The Gentle Art overdyed threads. Mary Jo Hays graciously agreed to stitch both for me. I'm waiting on a frame for my third piece called Spring Violets using 40 count Ink Spot Black by R&R and Needlepoint Silks including two of their overdyed colors. Yummy! Thanks to Joanne Ambrose for her stitching! A punch needle design is almost done and another tiny sampler. Pictures to follow in next post.
I just talked to Carmen Sutton and she is working on more Hands To Work zippered bags for market. I can't wait to see them. She is the most amazing finisher.
I need to get stitching again. Time is quickly running away! Watch for more news about my releases.
