Gone (Stitching) with the Wind

If you adore Scarlet O'Hara and have read Gone with the Wind more than once, you will fall in love with this Labors of Love canvas.

Here is the unstitched canvas.  That will help you appreciate what The Enriched Stitch's teacher has done.

Counted Canvaswork and Painted Canvases

This morning I have new eye candy for you. Since the trade show news has been mostly about painted canvases, here is a lovely silk version of a counted piece from Needle Delights.

Carol has a lovely little free ornament for us, straight from Australia.  This will make great Christmas ornaments, a scissors fob or just something pretty to pin on your bulletin board at work.

Ridgewood has been showcasing older designs that are just as wonderful today as they were when they were first released.  Their Famous Women series (from Labors of Love ) can be paired with a matching frame.

They also have a lovely Gone with the Wind canvas with all the main characters. I don't know who the designer of this classic is, but I bet fans will have great fun stitching it as a momento of a great movie.

The final touch this morning is 8 blog entries from Pocket Full of Stitches, showing off their current Patti Mann trunk show.  Twenty percent off, folks!
