Not much new here.  I've been doing more reading and genealogy than stitching the last few days.  But tomorrow is a stitch-in for the Hoosier Stitchers.  I plan on going and relaxing and stitching away.  The stitch-ins are always an enjoyable time.

Someone asked about the photo of the piece I had posted on Wednesday.  It's called Diamond in the Rough.  I designed it and taught it at CATS (Creative Arts and Textiles) shows.  I always thought of it as a fun piece and a good way to learn some different canvas stitches.  Also adaptable to almost any color scheme.

new photos

I have been meaning to update my stitching with photos but time keeps slipping by.  So here are some new photos.


ANG offers a Stitch-of-the Month (SOTM) on their website.  For 2011, Ro Pace is doing the stitches.  January started with the outline, then we have been adding a different stitch each month.  This is mine thru May's stitch.  My overdyed is Williamsburg (waterlilies by Caron Collection).  I am stitching on a light blue Congress Cloth.

If you are not familiar with ANG, then check out the website.  http://www.needlepoint.org/index.php
Definitely check out the previous years of SOTM!



My progress as of Monday on Sea Opal.  This is the project taught by Ro Pace at my ANG Chapter - White River - retreat at the end of March.



This is a sneak preview of a new piece that I have created.  Not much to see but then that's why it's called a sneak peek.
