Eye Candy

Oh, you enabler you! Haven't you done enough to me already? (drooling over Arts and Crafts Panel, Night Skyline, Stained Glass Feather. . . .)

Sent off list!

Share when you're done with it - that is gorgeous!!!!

linda

I would definitely go the bias route.

BTW - is this the book?

I will be glad to, but it could be a while. I still didn't start Amethyst Dreams. Other little things keep coming up. I'm almost done with the eyeglass case my friend asked me to make for her and then I really must get started.

Accumulate more stash - that's what to do. They are nice charts - the cover pics are kind of weak, but the stitched versions look good. A lot of her charts just have some photo image of what the chart would look like, not an actual photo of the stitched piece.

I can always print out the picture from the net if I have to. It doesn't look extremely complicated like some of the ones where you need to take a magnifying glass to the picture to figure out how many stitches to use.>

Which LNS is going out of business, Ellice?? I would hate to go there one day, and find a big NOTHING!!

I think the ones I liked were Waterlilies and the needlepoint one of the Tulip Window. See what you folks have done to me. First I find lots of new stuff with canvas work and now all these art deco and Frank Lloyd Wright charts. When I lived in SoCal we visited Hollyhock House and the Ennis Brown house and while it's been over

Nevermind that the yard is going to pot. The rain never seems to stop and while the painting is done I still have to replant the grass where the racoons dug up the grass last fall. Oh, yes, and I've got flats of portulaca, impatients and scarlet sage to put in the ground. And prop up the iris that got beat down by not just one strong storm but two. And then there's the Cup finals.

Nancy...almost done with Summer Breeze....wish I had actually shopped for floss rather than use the extras, I think it would have looked better.

I liked the needlepoint lilies too. . .

I am working on Whirlpool as a follow up to Flower Boxes, in the same colors. So far, so good.

Ah, Donna has been writing about this on her blog, and I thought had said something here. The shop I managed for a year - Scarlet Thread - is going out. Last day June 20th - lots of folks shopping since she announced. Been doing 25% off on everything, has painted canvases at 30% off, and some charts at 40%. Anyhow - she still has plenty of stuff - really. The owner is thinking about doing a web store - but I wouldn't hold my breath til that happens - or she's going to sell on line, and have people come to her house to see merchandise by appt. We'll see.

I'm having a fun time trying to get my Baroque gals to have their absolutely final class - I can't get them in the same place on a weekend before the shop closes - so may have to do a mid-week evening. And the long-term Twister class - it's a nightmare - but I'm looking for a place to have them meet regularly - I live further out so coming here isn't good - but I'm working on it.

Another LNS - likely going to close for about a month or so while doing a change of location thing, it's a bit complicated.

Of course, if you came here - we wouldn't let you find a big NOTHING!!!!

Interesting. I am working to be not overwhelmed on the original design I just found out I have to do and complete to submit by Aug 1 - along with a ton of academic type stuff, and some illustrations, and stitch samples, for my Master Teacher program. Tee hee - what fun. So, I've had a couple of inspirations for the original piece - which isn't huge - only going to be about 5X7 or 6X6, 6X7 - depending. With a min of 3 stitches (no tent except for tiny details). So, I've been fondling an awful lot of threads, metallics, - all kinds. And playing. But, the Whirlpool made me think of this - as I'm doing something based on photos we took while Ice-climbing (back when I was fit) on a glacier in Alaska. Lots of icey whites and brilliant blue.

Ack.

Well, so much for calm. I've been on the phone with insurance companies, & doctors' offices - so now I'm fried. Which is why I've been popping off comments to RCTN - 'cause I can do this - with typos - while on hold intermittently.

Maybe I'll even stitch tonight.

I lost donna's Blog site. It was fun to read so can you post it again?.

Lucille

Maybe a room at the local public library?

Joan

No, tonight you are going to sit down and write to each of us from the SAL to tell us how much we owe you!!!!

:)

Joan

It's like losing a scissors: As soon as you buy a new one, you find the old! Try starting a new one and I bet the pwd comes to you!

Joan

I'm trying for that. But the one kind of central for the Baroque folks & me is quite busy. The Twister crew is just difficult to get agreed upon anything.
