Sandy and the Skein of Pepperpot

Sandy Arthur just taught her students in her "Harvest" mystery cyber class (pumpkins and grapes and fall flowers from Robbyn's Nest) how to open a skein of Pepperpot silk.  And now she is sharing that tutorial with the rest of us.  Thank you, Sandy!

Here's "Harvest," for those who are curious.  It's a mystery so only her students know how things are progressing....

Not to worry, though.  Once class is over and the mystery solved, Sandy will probably be willing to sell kits to those who missed class.  If you ask nicely, that is.

Sabbatical and Serenity

Kathy of Needle Delights Originals is taking a break from designing, giving herself a sabbatical to see what happens when she doesn't design counted pieces for a while.  She's still teaching, though, and shows off the class pieces underway when she taught Serenity at her local guild chapter.

I sometimes take a break from my usual practice of stitching every night for 1-3 hours but it never lasts for more than a day or two.  I wonder what would happen...?
