While I've been tent stitching around the wizard and working another project I can't show you, other folks have been busy. Stitch Niche in Mississippi has posted two newsletters. I always find their stitched projects inspiring.




Stitches by the Bay is doing a 3-D octopus class and one of candy corn (yumm!) dressed as a mummy for Halloween.



I've also posted one of Isabel's Originals canvases as my Canvas of the Day over in the right hand column. Isabel's canvases are inspired by French style so the letters of the alphabet are made from French contortionists in traditional dress. The garden of the month canvases show Frenchwomen in their garden each month, with the correct plants for that type of year. They are dresses in 19th Century garb but in a modern touch, you will find zodiac symbols on their clothing. These are large and expensive designs but very beautiful. You can see them here. Click on "Hand Painted Canvases" at the bottom of the page and scroll through the gardens to find your favorite month.
