These folks all say what I feel about Judy Harper way better than I ever could.

New Stitch Guide Information

I have so much going on in my life I forgot to mention I've updated the Chilly Hollow Stitch Guide blog with two new articles.
http://chstitchguides.blogspot.com/

The Feb. 27, 2011 article links to an article Robin King wrote about how she creates her stitch guides.  The Feb. 22 article is about the stitch guide information Janet Perry is providing Cyberpointers at their March meeting.  Just follow the above link to read more.

Off to Class and the Flower Show UPDATED

I am turning green this morning and it's not because spring might be about to arrive in Chilly Hollow!  I'm jealous of all the fun things that other stitchers are doing.  Vicky is taking a class from Brenda Hart.

Peggi is taking a class from Tony Minieri.

UPDATE:  Since I wrote this post yesterday, Peggi has posted again about the Tony Minieri class she's in.  I am even more jealous, if that were possible.

Rittenhouse is getting ready for the Philadelphia Flower Show by spotlighting floral canvases in their shop.  The neat thing about their little article is that they sort canvases into difficulty levels to help stitchers pick just the right piece.

At least if we can't be there, we can participate virtually.  Thanks for the reports, everyone.  We may be jealous but at least we got a taste of all the fun.

By the Way...

...the Stitching/Destashing Blog has added a bunch of new things for sale.  Read the header of the blog for information on how to buy.  And move fast--there are good deals here and folks are starting to realize it.

Settling in With Morning Eye Candy

Janet Perry alerted me to a new design by Debbie Rowley (DebBee's Designs) called Eight Pansy Portraits.  It's a charted study of eight different flowers in different shades.  You can see good photos in the second link and read about the chart booklet in Janet's review.

Speaking of eye candy, you will want to see Vicky De Angelis' interpretation of the SharonG canvas called Cat Walk.  The framing is spectacular to match Vicky's stunning stitching.

I haven't been idle.  I've finished Luna's hair except for her bangs and the hood of her cloak and it's fur trim is done.  I am doing the easy stitching instead of the harder cloak lining as this has been a busy week with not much energy for stitching at night.
