Fame!

Guess who was the poster girl for the Day of the Dead celebration in New Mexico?

You can see a stitched version of Belleza's Day of the Dead sister Pocito here, by the way.  Check out what Sheena is doing for the bodice of her Melissa Shirley Wild Woman canvas, by the way.  Sheena's stitching Mae West.

Not to worry, I am stitching away on Belleza, but I'm working on a part that will take me probably two weeks to finish and show off.

Sweaters and Buttons

Rittenhouse has posted photos of some of their favorite Stitch-Its sweater and button sets.

There are tons of different designs available.  Here are just a few from the Stitch-Its site.  Note the links at the top of the page to more styles.  Not every sweater canvas has buttons but a lot of them do.
