If you don't read the blogs that NP designers and shop owners have, you are missing out on some great information and inspiration.
How about Ruth Schmuff's idea to have a Sandra Gilmore floral design painted based on some of Ruth's friends and colleagues? Brenda Hart is represented by a purple tulip! To see the canvas and read about other "flowers" look for the 4/5/08 entry here.
Speaking of inspiration, check out what Rosalyn Cherry-Soleil has to say to her Flight of Fancy cyberclass students and to us about stitching.
The photo above is from a Leigh Designs canvas of three Japanese masks. Rosalyn is stitching this, with progress photos on her website. Check this one out and also several other large pieces she has underway here.
Finally, watch Laura Perin design a new sampler on her website. I love the small, smaller, large and largest primrose patterns!
UPDATE: Laura has added a second design in a spring and autumn version on her blog. It's fascianting to see how she changes a rose to a grape, a willow leaf to a grape leaf, tosses in beads and changes colors and Poof! You have something totally different.
Inspiration is all over the Internet if you know where to look.
