TNNA Baltimore: Sunday Update

The very latest from TNNA in Baltimore includes the latest from PJs and Chocolate, which is Patt and Lee Designs' hand painted canvases. Think cats, Christmas and patchwork!

The Old Crows and More from Baltimore TNNA

The Old Crows are available for viewing on the Leigh Designs website. My Night Rider and Sandy Arthur's Night Cap also have photos of the models we did for Leigh Designs. Click on the photo of the bare canvas to see the stitched versions when you arrive at those canvases.

The photo above of Night Rider shows the brown marbling on the sage green canvas well.  All the Old Crows have metallic paint although that is hard to see in the photos.  These are 10x10 designs on 18 count canvas.  Because this series has stitch guides ready to order, I also put information and another photo of Night Rider on the CH Stitch Guides blog.  Ride the magic carpet or follow the link, your choice.

Kristine Kingston (who lives in the Baltimore area, lucky girl) has a lovely long report of everything she's seen at Market, including a booklet and canvas from Kelly Clark that talks about the stumpwork techniques she uses.  This is a nice long report. Bless you, Kristine!

Sara Leigh has added lots of new counted canvaswork pieces to her site, along with her trademark photos of the threads needed.  That makes it just that much more tempting, doesn't it?  Don't miss the new Kurdy Briggs!

Quail Run  has found a magic wand.  Wonder if it is related to my magic carpet?  LOL

An Amazing DMC Color Card

I happen to have an old DMC color card, the kind with the real thread samples. I treasure it and use it all the time in mail order thread shopping. These are not available any more but Meredith didn't let that stop her.  She made her own color block project.

Anyone who has most of the DMC colors on hand could make their own color card, couldn't they?  It would be a fantastic and fun tool.
