News For a Cold Monday

If it is as cold where you are as it is here, stay inside and browse on your computer until you are warm and awake enough to start the day.  Amy Bunger's monthly newsletter has arrived.

Her website has been updated with new canvases they ordered from the January TNNA market.  Remember the wonderful Tapestry Tent/Susan Roberts Halloween parade?  Now there is a Christmas parade and it's the first new canvas on Amy's site.

Fireside Stitchery has new things on their website, too, but the big news is that David McCaskill is coming to the East Coast to teach there in March.  If you can make it to the shop then, check out the details here.

A trip to the Fireside and a visit with Amy is as warming as hot tea, hot chocolate or hot coffee! Speaking of which, I need to go refill my cup....

What's Wrong with This Background?

I've finally finished the leaping deer sections of the background around the camouflage bra piece and have started working t-stitch to finish the background.  In the above photo, you can see the t-stitch starting to fill in the background. I'm using one strand of Burmilana (color 3660 which is a pale ecru with a grayish cast) for the t-stitches.  The leaping deer are done in cross stitch with Medici #8505, which is tan.

See anything wrong with this background?
