Seeing Staccato

A Cappella from the Staccato series (Leigh Designs)
I know Carol S. and probably several other folks are dying to see the new Staccato line from Leigh Designs.  They are on the LD website now.  There's a bit about the design inspiration on the home page, plus a link to see all eight of the designs.  Some are more abstract, others are more realistic, but all have a jazzy beat.  Me, I like Intermezzo.  How about you? Which is your favorite?

"Tis The Gift To Be Simple"

I'm quoting the first bit of the most famous Shaker hymn because Betty Chen Louis has this gift.

Gay Ann Rogers has posted a photograph of Betty's newest design (which might be offered as a cyberclass through the Shining Needle Society) on her website.  It's a beautiful and simple view of London's skyline, done with 3-4 threads and perhaps 6 stitches.  If you are interesting in taking this as a class, email Shining Needle Society at KateGaunt@aol.com.  An email isn't a promise to take the class--Kate just needs to know if there is enough interest in this piece to offer it as one of the cyberclasses SNS sponsors.

Elegant, isn't it?

I've also updated the tab called "How to Buy Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides" to explain the types of stitch guides I sell.  I am also in the process of writing two more stitch guide writer articles so stay tuned!
