One of the nicest things about the Internet is how well we get to know other stitchers. Stephanie's fellow SWANs are becoming well known to me. (Steph says they think maybe they need their own TV show. I agree!) Here are the ornaments stitched for Lisa at the SWAN Christmas ornament exchanges over the years, following by other ornaments that have been stitched and gifted. Lots to see and learn from here!

Speaking of learning, Ruth Schmuff has started her latest mystery class. In these classes, everyone knows what canvas they'll be stitching but no one --not even Ruth-- know what they will look like at the end. It's an adventure via mail order kits! The first lesson talks about faces and hair for this Maggie canvas, with Ruth sharing a great tip for a thread that does hair beautifully and easily.

Ridgewood is showing off some of their Sandra Gilmore canvases and in the process, talking a little about the fun things parents and kids come up with together that build memories that will outlast the parent. There are gnomes, too. I think they might be from dede Odgen but I am not certain.

See? We really do get to know each other through our stitching.

Jane you know you are right! I feel like I know you and Stephanie and Condi and all the others that let us share their lives and stitching. To each of you I say, "Thank you!" I look forward to visiting with each of you regularly!
The Internet has enabled us to have a Needlepoint Community, hasn't it? It is fun to see names and "recognize" them as people I know here and there. People like you, Anne!
Jane the Gnomes are cute, and they are Dede's. I have been cruising around seeing them, she is coming out with some different things!
Thanks, Sheena. I thought the gnomes were from dede as I've seen similar ones elsewhere but I couldn't be one hundred percent sure.
Hope you are feeling better. Bead your brains out! LOL
