New Threads from Ruth and Fabulous Stitching from Ruth

Ruth Dilts, enabler of the week here in Virginia, sent me a list of the new threads she saw at market from Rainbow Gallery. They, along with Kreinik, are one of the largest thread manufacturers here in the U.S. so many of us will see the following in the shops soon. Here are the colors and their names. The link is to the What's New part of the Rainbow Gallery website so you can look at photos. Just click on the hyperlinks to go to the sections that intrique you.

Ruth Schmuff, another enabler of the highest order, is tempting me with photos of two designs from the Columbus trade show. The first design isn't finished. It's from her line of canvases and a stitch guide is promised so you can stitch your own carrot walking her brocoli dogs. Really. You have to see this to believe it!

The second photo is from Leigh Designs and is my favorite of the new large Guadalajara canvases. I just love that pink flower....

Both pieces were stitched by master embroiders and are works of art. Enjoy!
