If you don't follow other blogs regularly, you might not realize some projects we watched being stitched are back from the finisher. They are all spectacular! Remember the kids in their costumes marching off to trick and treat? This is by Tapestry Tent (distributed by Susan Roberts) and it is wonderful as a pillow!

All four of Madonna's Sundance Southwestern pieces are back from the framer. Aren't they wonderful as a set?

Anne Stradal's version of her dad's black and white sketch is framed. Look how well she handles shading, light and shadow in just black and white threads!

Terry Dryden has finished her class model for Mediterranean Squares with a three stitch border that is the perfect finishing touch.

I need to get busy and finish the last Pet Guardian Angel so I can put them all together and show off my own finished pieces!

So glad you like the border on Mediterranean Squares...sometimes that is the hardest part!
ReplyDeleteGood news here in the San Francisco Bay Area....we have a new needlepoint shop....luv2stitch.com!!!
Excellent news about the new shop, Terry. Hnjoy the Paper Russell dogs for me. I think they are really stylish and fun. I think borders can make or break a piece but your border is both simply and very effective at corralling all that color and movement. In case no one has told you, you are VERY talented!
