Bears in the Air

Bear canvases seem to be in the air in the Blog-o-sphere. Kathy is stitching a bear on her Tapestry Tent Entourage stocking. Click on the title of her March 14 posting to see the whole thing.

And Jane is happily taking a class from Tony Minieri to stitch her Brenda Stofft Frontier Bear Santa. Isn't it turning out beautifully?

By the way, the Stitching Sisters have a bunch of finished items to admire. There's a purse finished by Marlene's that's gorgeous, a Barbara Elmore room with a lovely chimney, mantel and mirror decorated for Christmas, a gorgeous pillow from Shelly Tribbey that will remind you of Audrey Hepburn, and the first stitched All That Glitters Xmas ornament from the Needle House monthly club.

Kelly's dragonfly pillow is back from the finsher's. It's spring in pillow form.

Ruth Schmuff's finisher has come up with a way to add feet to Ruth's Halloween standups.

I tell you, seeing all these wonderful designs is really inspiring. It's better than Spring (although I can't wait for Spring to arrive). Progress on Holi is slow--I did more tent stitched background last night. But I'll have something fun for you to look at soon. I bought a mixed bag of sequins at the crafts emporium yesterday at lunchtime. I think Holi will have a sequin or two on her floral halo.
