Searching for This Canvas

Identify This Mystery Canvas

Anyone know who the designer is, or have this in their stash or shop? Robin King has someone who'd like to find this canvas and get a copy of the guide which Robin did years ago. She doesn't remember the designer....  Help!

Post a comment if you know who did the design or have the canvas for sale and I'll put you in touch with Robin.  You can email me privately at chilly hollowat hot maildot com.

Thanks!

My Heart Belongs to Football

Ok, not really. I enjoy stitching with sports on the tv in the background but I don't really follow any teams closely. But if you do, or someone you stitch for does, you'll want to see the college football canvas slide show on the Bristly Thistle blog.  I think the bracelets are really cool and a good way to show team support without looking like an idiot.  (My college team's colors are orange with white accents.  Ever seen anyone in an orange suit, orange cowboy boots and orange cowboy hat?  SHUDDER.)

If hearts are more your thing than football, how about the very newest designs from Raymond Crawford--tiny checkerboard hearts with bows?  You can be fashionable and fun at the same time.

You know, my favorite thing about needlepoint painted canvases is that there's something for everyone.

Bristly Thistle Starts November Off Right UPDATED

Bristly Thistle starts November off right with a Cooper Oaks trunk show. Items are twenty percent off during the month of November. You can see 200 canvases on their website, including the Vermont Turkey, the Penny Hen, the County Cousins (cow and pig) and more.  I think I'll start with the Hawaii and Whales section....

UPDATE:  I just got word that Ridgewood Needlepoint has the Whimsey and Grace trunk show in-house.  I don't know if there's a discount but you can do a little windowshopping at the Shimsey and Grace website, then contact Ridgewood to find out if the canvas that caught your eye is there and at what price.

Color and Lynn Payette

Guess who has been over at Ruth Schmuff's shop, teaching some lucky stitchers how to create depth and dimension with color? It's Lynn Payette, teaching her Birches piece. The trees are lovely, aren't they? And they are created with fabric, color and some simple stitches. Amazing!

Wish I'd been in this class and that it happened before I started Cat Topiary Garden.  I think I could have picked up some interesting techniques that would make the cat's garden come to life.
