Celebrate the Olympics

Sue has done all of us Olympics fans a favor--she's created a free interlocking rings chart to use.   Now you have something pertinent to stitch while watching the games!  Thanks, Sue.  That was really great of you!

Magic Hat Mystery Class (Meredith Included) UPDATED

M's Canvashouse is teaming up with Share One's Ideas on an exclusive Halloween canvas to be stitched as a mystery class.  The Mystery Magic Hat Class design has five different witch hats in a row, each different and unique.  The class starts in May with a new lesson shipped out every six weeks or so plus messages from Meredith Willet (the M in M's Canvashouse) who is creating this mystery experience for you.  Alas, there is no photograph on their website but if you email the shops, I bet they will send you one to see the starting point.

UPDATE:  More about the class.

Debbie Goes to Nashville

TNNA's Nashville Market was last weekend. It's mostly cross stitch but the counted canvas designers are there, including Debbie Rowley of DebBee's Designs. She kindly wrote up a report about her experience.

I've added information from the Nashville Market at the top of the Winter TNNA tab but since I am not sure the counted folks know that, I am also including Debbie's information here.  Don't miss checking out her free counted design (right hand column) or the photo of her newest design, "Royal Garden," which is lovely!

By the way, many thanks to the counted canvaswork admirers who have been correctly and adding to the information included in the Counted Designers tab.  I couldn't have compiled all this without your help!
