Because not everyone is into painted canvases like me, I'm pairing today's tale of Robin's Insomnia canvas with an interview Sara Leigh has done with Carol Young of Carol's Counted Canvaswork in Australia. Carol's a counted thread designer with a wonderful take on fancy stitches and happy colors. You'll enjoy getting to know her, even if you aren't really much of a counted person like me.

You can see Carol's newest designs underway on her blog. I find it fascinating to see them develop, even though I'm not much of a counted thread stitcher myself.

By the way, Pat has mentioned a counted thread Yahoo Group called The Stitch Specialists that some folks who are really into that technique might be interested in. I don't belong myself (Are you kidding?! I can't even count the same small line of stitches and come up with the same number consistently?!)
