Candy Varieties

Ada Hayen of Eye Candy has been seeing more and more of her "Candyland Christmas Tree Farm" canvases stitched and finished.  She's posted photographs on her blog for us to enjoy. Everyone has a favorite.   I love the last photograph best.  How about you?

Here's one more!

I think these were all done in a mystery class with Ruth Schmuff at Bedecked and Beadazzled.  Lucky for those who have just fallen in love with Candyland, Ruth will kit it all up and send to you as a mail order class.  The website links all seem to be mixed up, so email Ruth at BandB and ask her for pricing.

Five Finishes and a Start UPDATED

This morning has inspired stitching and a new mystery cyberclass from Laura Perin. Whoopee!

Let's do the finished pieces first. Needleart Nut has gotten her Judy Soulitis silk and metal embroidery piece back from the framer. It's gorgeous!

Colleen at the Needle Works loves to fish and goes to fish camp every summer.  She stitched this reproduction of the logo of the place she enjoys so much and gifted the lodge with it. Neat!

Thoughts of Summers Past

As this is Labor Day, the traditional end of summer, I thought you'd like to read the designer Kristine Kingston's Summertime essay.

See you next summer!

Linda is celebrating the traditional end of summer here in the U.S.  by showing off the new framed items she is hanging on her walls. Looks like a very productive year so far, Linda!
