Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides: Artists Collection

I've added a new entry to the CH Stitch Guides blog.  This time I'm writing about Artists Collection*, which represents three separate designers, all of whom offer stitch guides for some, many or all of their canvases.  You can visit my other blog by clicking here--

*Sorry, I mistakenly wrote A Collection of Designs. Palma caught it, so thank you very very much!

If you haven't voted on which Patt & Lee canvas I should stitch (see yesterday's entry for the choices), please either use the poll above or email your choice to me at chillyhollow at hotmaildotcom before you leave. Thanks!

Charting a Mystery, Melissa Shirley, and Threads

Ruth Schmuff's Harvest Mystery

Thistle Needleworks is having a Melissa Shirley trunk show for two weeks.  You can see the canvases in the show (on sale at 20% off the normal price) on their online store here, or if you are in Connecticut, check out directions to the shop on the shop website (second link below).

ThreadworX is looking for photos of pieces stitched with their threads.  Want to be in their winter Journal issue?  Details here.

My final tidbit of news is that Ruth Schmuff has charted her last mystery class so that fans of charted work can stitch it on plain instead of painted canvases.   The photo above is the pink-orange-brown original version of Harvest Mystery. Her blog shows what a little blue can do!  Ruth says she plans to offer charted versions of several of the canvases in her line now, so if you love counted canvaswork, keep an eye on Ruth's blog.
