Mysteries, Candy and More

Ann Strite-Kurz

I'm getting a backlog of things to tell Blog readers about, so let me list them now before I forget or they become outdated:

We have a mystery to solve.  Do any counted canvasworkers detectives recognize the top design at the link below?  The Needleart Nut is trying to identify it so she can get the directions and finish it.  The bottom piece is Crown of Hearts by Jean Hilton and Pat's already got the chart to complete that.  But the top piece is still unidentified.

Needlepoint.com has a great profile (with many photos) up on their blog about Canvas Candy, the JL Canvas Company series of both a painted canvas and an identical glass ornament.  Have fun seeing more sets at their website in the second link.

A new shop is about to open in the Richmond, VA area.   Here's a bit about it.  If you are there on September 1, tell them hi!

How long has it been since you visited Needle Artworks?  This is the best place to pick up Genny Morrow, Marion Scoular, or Ann Strite-Kurz designs, plus they offer a gateway to the always popular Carole Lake notebook classes.  There's a lot more to find (like the beautiful Luan Callery stumpwork kits) and the revamping of the site shows it all off beautifully.  The design above is Ann S-K's lovely Red Japanese Lantern, by the way.

Have fun browsing.

Thanks for mentioning that I am still looking for the piece. It is really too pretty to toss out and I really don't want to rip it out either. Hopefully someone will recognize it!

My pleasure, Pat. If you can't identify it, you can always build on it with your own ideas, you know. Have you looked at the geometric pieces that the Caron Collection publishes? I've seen several recently various places that aren't this but remind me of it....

The JL Canvas Candy canvas/ornament sets arrived at Amy's last week. I had the best time photographing the sets, and in Photoshop did a side by side photo group so the viewer could see what they were getting. Too cute. I don't know which one is my. Have you seen the Kokeshi Girl and the Kokeshi Boy? When I photographed them, I thought of you. I have all of the sets posted under Christmas. Hugs!

We should vote on favorites from this series. They arrived at Ruth's as well and I love, love, love them. My favorites, of course, involve food -- the tarts; the sub with the pickle. Too cute. I've gotta have them -- can we just expand the average day to 36 or so hours so that I can find time to do all that I covet!

Missy, favorites would be hard to pick. I've not been to visit Amy's site and see the photos that Robin took. Let's all head over....
