Shamrock Garden (Needle Delights with Threads LLC)

Threads LLC in Charlottesville, Virginia used one of the "Color Delights" series from Needle Delights as a jumping off point for this lovely counted canvaswork piece called "Shamrock Garden."

If you are a fan of counted pieces and want to try something a little different and experimental, contact the shop about picking up the instructions and threads.

Introducing La Sirena (Ruth Schmuff Mystery Class) UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff has just announced the latest canvas for her series of mystery classes--she's going to work on Lulu My Pink Turtle's La Sirena mermaid.

For right now the canvas is only available as part of Ruth's class but if you want to wait until the mystery is solved, you'll be able to get the kit (or just the canvas) later on.  Stay tuned for the fishy fun!

Sandy Does Curls

Ultra talented Sandy Arthur shows how to make fabulous curly hair by torturing Flair. (Actually no thread was harmed in the making of this hairdo, just altered.)  It's a neat technique.  Thanks, Sandy!

Crooked Tree at the Beach

The Crooked Tree does lots of ocean and beach canvases. They aren't that well known, though, so since I stumbled across their blog this morning, I thought I'd provide the link so you could dream about being at the beach this weekend.  The blog talks about their canvases and the designers behind them.  I found it very interesting.

Their full line is on their website.  Of course a shop will have to order for you, but that's easy enough.  Whip out Ye Olde Credit Carde and we are in business!  All without getting sunburned or sand in our shoes, too.
