| Geisha with Tea Pot by Unknown Designer |
...to take advantage of a fabulous sale at SF Stitch in San Francisco. Canvases are 65% off. There are some great buys available on the Sale and Consignment pages, too, but the wonderful silk gauze kits are not on sale. I wonder if the canvas above is by Juell?

| Tapestry Fair's Peacock Feathers |
I like to credit designers when I can but the above canvas I didn't recognize when I used it as the Canvas of the Day. Fortunately, Peggi of Tapestry Fair recognized it as one of her designs from about 1977. Thanks, Peggi. (It's on sale as are all of CanvasBeGone's Floral Category canvases until the end of September, by the way.)

I can just see this Peacock piece being worked in goldwork, with coloured metallic threads, and stumpworked blue berries.....(typical approach to style for me - but very different to anything I've ever worked on).
Tempting!
Isn't it?! Well, I'm not going to add it to the Huge Pile waiting to be stitched here in CH but I know you don't have many painted canvases stashed away, so go for it!
Jane, egging e-Rose on from CH
