The Texture Queen

The Queen of Texture arrived in the Baltimore area over the weekend and began to work her magic in class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. There are a lot of great ideas here, all documented by Ruth Schmuff, shop owner and our local spy. Thanks, Ruth!

Friday Finishing: Perfect Fabrics and a Perfect Frame

These hearts and Queen of Hearts are all beautifully finished but the coordinating fabrics are what caught my eye. I think Stephanie herself came up with most of them.

Suzie worked with her framer to come up with the perfect custom frame for this Enriched Stitch retreat piece.  Isn't it lovely!?

By the way, Absolutely Needlepoint's tote bags from their Stitch of the Month program are starting to return from the finisher.  Aren't these lovely?  If you happen to be in Miami, watch for these out and about with their proud owners.
