Ruth's S-L-O-W Mystery Class

Ruth Schmuff is famous for her mystery classes that usually are over a 2-3 month period. But Ruth has one mystery class that will stretch out over a year or perhaps more.  The canvas is a Lee design of six Chinese women in a row, all in fabulous outfits.  You'll never guess how Ruth did the beads in the background!

You are see all of Ruth's mystery classes, past , future or slow, on the Bedecked and Beadazzled website.

Lee's Leather Pillows and Barb's Custom Bags UPDATED

Absolutely Needlepoint in Miami has just posted photographs of the new Lee leather pillows. These are easy to finish--just pop the canvas you just stitched inside the hole!  I have not seen these in person but since Lee/Colonial's other leather goods are first rate, I bet these are great quality, too.

Janet Perry has learned about the Bags by Barb custom totes.  Here's all about the Bags by Barb series. She will even make a portfolio so you can carry your painted canvas project safely.

Here is the Bags by Barb site.  The second link shows the bag Barb made for Kimberly.

UPDATE:  Vicky DeAngelis thinks that there are two different Bags by Barb companies.  So the link Janet Perry posted is a different Barb.  What a coincidence!

Thanks for the help, Vicky.  And why are you up so early?!
