Everybody is Stitching Snow But Me

Everybody is stitching snow it seems!  Even I am stitching snowflakes although I am pretty sure I'll be shoveling them tomorrow as we are supposed to get from 10-18 inches  have two feet of snow already and more is predicted.  I am sick of winter but luckily Ada of Eye Candy is stitching a cheerful snowflake star for winter to bring us out of our doldrums.

Ruth Schmuff''s mom has finished the Ewe and Eye and Friends' twirling snowmen piece, which I think is an instant classic.  I'm pretty sure if you ask nicely Ruth will send you a stitch guide, canvas and threads.

Vicky DeAngelis is adding a little snow to her life by stitching the Patches snowman from Pepperberry Designs.  This will be a class at Newport Needlepoint in Costa Mesa, California.  Bet if you call and beg you can have him boxed up and shipped to your door even if you aren't close enough to take the class.

I hope these snow projects charm you even as you dig out from another storm in This Winter That Never Ends.

Christine and Carol Stitch for Embroiderer's Guild of South Australia

Carol and her friend Christine have designed a counted band sampler to raise funds for the Embroiderer's Guild of South Australia.   I thought the counted canvas work folks would love to see Carol's tribute to her Guild.  You can pick up a copy of the sampler by following the link or by going straight to the second URL below although you probably will have to talk to the Guild about shipping charges before you buy.

Of course their website has their full line, but it is fun to explore Etsy to see their specials and trial pieces.
