Nimble Needle Profiles Lillian Chermor

Here at Blog we know all about Lillian Chermor's wonderful designs (I have one in my stash), that are almost always painted on brown canvas. They show up on eBay occasionally, but usually at near full price. If you are a fan looking for a place to pick up some of Lillian's work, check out Nimble Needle's small collection of her pieces.

You can always browse Lillian's website and ask your shop to order something, of course.

Twisted Metal

Liz has finished another original bargello project which she has renamed Metal Ribbons. It was called Twisted Ribbons at first so of course every time I look at it I think "Twisted Metal."  Liz is probably grateful I don't think of it as Heavy Metal.

It is a really pretty thing even though I have such trouble with its name.  Hopefully she'll get the instructions written soon so you can have your own chart and call it anything you like.  By the way, Liz has a second bargello piece waiting to have instructions written.  It's a mesmerizing piece that I swear is looking at me!
