Another Pair of Stitching Sisters



Remember my interviews with twin sisters Eileen Aird (owner of the Ridgewood Needlepoint shop) and Elizabeth Hess (owner of Needlepoint Broad painted canvases)?  I've found another pair of sisters in the business, Cindy of Cindy's Needle Art and Randi of Sew Much Fun.  Cindy's shop is in Canada but she has an online store.

Here's a brief interview Cindy did with her sister about the Sew Much Fun line.

And here are some of the Sew Much Fun designs for your viewing pleasure. (Prices are in Canadian dollars if you fall in love.)

Many thanks to the Spinster Stitcher who is going to stitch one of the frog designs from Sew Much Fun.  I got curious and tried to find a photo of the canvas online only to discover this interview and all the interesting designs that the shop sells.

Oh, for pity's sakes! I should be thanking YOU for giving me such inspiration!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the info about Sew Much Fun. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this one!

We can't wait for photographs! Stitch faster (or teach Stewey to stitch while you sleep....)

The "drink coffee do stupid things faster" - I've sent the image to a male engineering friend of mine and seriously suggested he take up embroidery, and do this canvas. It is just perfect for him, and he needs a relaxing hobby! He already does his job, learns deaf language at an advanced level and is also learning how to be a masseur. He needs something where he can just 'be'. This is so perfect.

Morning, e-Rose! I thought that canvas hilarious, especially since I a) do stupid things well and b) love that morning 2 cups!

Hope your friend decides to take up needlepoint. I can't just sit in front of the tv at night and also find it an intellectual challenge (something I think you can relate to). If he goes for it, let me know and I'll help get him started.
