More New Designs from Dallas

More new designs for spring are appearing. Needle Delights is going to release a series of designs based on two colors. The first adds blue and purple.

There are lots and lots of new magnets to choose from.  Hummm... I like that red telephone box!

If you have a Facebook account, Melissa Shirley Designs is posting new designs featuring bicycles and jars of canned foods on the MSD page.  Leigh Designs has given out the link to their newest line on their Facebook page.  The link works but if you go to Leigh's website, you won't find the canvases there yet  I understand the 6x6 size of the new designs will go up after the Dallas show.  Leigh ran out of time and decided she'd rather pack clothes than get photos up on the website ready to go live after the show is over.

Janet Perry has posted a written review (no photos or links) of new items, especially threads.

Are You Going to Santa Fe?

The Embroider's Guide of America has their annual Seminar in late October-early November this fall in Santa Fe. If you have a little time to browse the class photos, you are going to be astounded at the technical skill of those teaching classes there.

Pull up a chair, get your favorite beverage, and then click on Class Photos.
