Robin King has been working on a very plain canvas that just says Hugs. The fascinating thing about this design from Gayla Elliott of Alice Peterson is that so much of the canvas is blank. Robin was able to add any border or background she desired. When we work painted canvass, usually the colors and shapes dictate what we can use, but this design is very open-ended. Robin took full advantage of this. You are going to be amazed at the difference between the original canvas and Robin's finished design!

Hi Jane,
Thanks for mentioning the HUGS canvas. I have only one more area to complete: the letter H. Yippee. I'll be sharing its final photo when it is all done. Next will be to send it off to become a pillow; all trying to make the January TNNA Phoenix deadline. Thanks for all you do! Hugs, Robin
It has been my pleasure to both mention your HUGS piece and to watch it develop. Can't wait to see a finished photo once it debuts! This is going to be a piece a lot of shops will want to teach. If only H remains, you are doing great!
