I think most of Sue's canvases are from ABS Designs, so here is the link to Anne Stradal's website so you can look at what rollup canvases are like, just in case you aren't familiar with them.  Just click on a header and explore.  UPDATE:  Sue says, "Jane, two of the roll-ups are Anne's the others were done by a local artist, Joan Lewis. She no longer is in business but if anyone wants to contact me I can see if she has any left. I will post the finished ones today."

Thanks for the correction, Sue!

Betsy and the Flag

Sue just finished stitching her Betsy Ross rollup from ABS Designs. She had a little trouble with threads and stitches but I think Betsy is wonderful. She's worth th pain! (Especially if you aren't doing the stitching and ripping!)   Happy Fourth!

In case you can't wait to see how Sue finishes her Betsy, here are brief roll up instructions for two different looks from A Dragon's Tale, who offer some wonderful rollup Santas.

Here's a photo of her Henry VIII, in case you want to see who Anne Boleyn and all the other wives married.  Design and stitch faster, Anne.  We can't wait to see!

I'll keep updating this as the stable of wives grow.

I Think That's Tony

Yesterday I saw a really cute rollup design on eBay.  I took a look and thought--that's Tony Minieri!

What do you think?  LOL

Then this morning Sue was talking about a friend who also designs and looked at her friend's website (second link).
http://sudukc.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/shamrock-stitching/

It's the same person!  Time to mention this on Blog so everyone can have fun exploring all the wonderful designs.  Those rollups look like a lot of fun and there is everything from the Wizard of Oz to seasonal treats like the Easter Bunny and the June Bride.
