Robin King is talking about how she created the 3D Associated Talents cake canvas she stitched for a TNNA class later this month on the Needlepoint Study Hall blog. It's great fun to see a master baker at work! Hopefully your shop owner(s) are going to take this class so they can pass along a slice of what they learn to you.

ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Robin. Part 2 is a fabulous tutorial on using memory wire so I republished as if this was new. It deserves it! You'll have to play with Hot Wire from Kreinik and see if you can come up with other tips just for that.
