I'm following along as several blog writers talk about painted canvases they are stitching. It's fascinating! Are you into Halloween? Then you have to see what Michele of Bristly Thistle is doing with this Tapestry Tent/Susan Roberts canvas!

Is football your favorite television program to stitch to? Then you are going to love what Lynne Segill at Wellesley Needlepoint did with a Julie Paukert canvas of the Patriots' stadium outside of Boston. See the smoke coming from the guns? How about that sky? I never would have thought to do sky and clouds in the same rectangular Woven Ribbons stitch!

Judy Harper is having a great time stitching a Squiggee mermaid. Isn't this a great canvas!? And it is small, too. You could stitch this before Christmas. Read the last link first. This is a blog, with the latest link on top of the list.

When you don't have time to stitch yourself, a visit to see what other folks are doing is both inspiring and doesn't take that much time out of your day.

Speak for yourself there in Chilly Hollow - I can't do the mermaid by Christmas - I'm slow. Tired in Texas here, signing off to go stitch a bit faster. (snif)
Hey, Judy! No pressure! After all, you have family duties this time of year. Those of us who try to stitch a little every day are on a different schedule.
Jane, sending hugs to Judy who inspires me with lovely things here in CH
