| Cool Drink - Erin Nelson |
Now that the Destination Dallas show is over and we are moving into the fall holiday season, I wanted to point out designs I really really liked. This is a personal list, just things that whisper "stitch me" when I look at them. The first on the list is a new artist at Purple Palm Designs. The "Cool Drink" zebra shown on the left is so appealing due to the cool colors Erin Nelson choose.

| Alice Peterson Does Mahjong |
I'm also crazy about the mahjong canvases from Alice Peterson. There are three different designs. I think the one on the right is my personal favorite. I like the mix of red, yellow and gray, the gate and the lanterns.

| Julie Mar's Peppermint Stick Mouse Sock |
I have to say this peppermint stick mouse stocking from Julie Mar is the cutest thing ever! Of course I love pink.

Continuing my fascination this September with floral and animal canvases are these two from Laurel Burch/Danji.

| Beauty, by Zecca |
Zecca's new Beauty Bird is lovely and the saying is quite inspirational, too.

| Deco Detective, from Eleanor Grosch |
Unlike any of the other pieces, my last favorite treats are not straight from nature but are people--here's Eleanor Grosch's "The Deco Detective, " straight from the Golden Age of British detective stories.

Carolyn Hedge Baird says she noticed a lot of donkey canvases and lots of dogs in clothes when I asked her what trends she noticed at Destination Dallas. What trends did you notice and what were your favorites?
