Ann Hanson's House, a Pictorial Visit

Barbara's Needlepoint in Sioux Falls, South Dakota is a wonderful shop that uses several local artists to design canvases that are gorgeous. My favorite works in the shop come from the talented brush of Ann Hanson.  Ann creates a limited edition Santa for the shop each year that is always classic and lovely, plus her rabbits are fabulous.  I felt very lucky to find Carolyn Hedge Baird took photos of Ann's house when she taught at the shop.  If you have a Facebook account, here is the photo album full of Ann's needlepoint.  Enjoy!

When There Is No Background

Sometimes a background isn't meant to be there but you can always add one.  Anne Stadal shows just how beautiful that can be with her Joan Thomasson Peaceable Kingdom angel.
