Fire & Ice & More Toni UPDATED

I just realized that Toni Gerdes has a website.  Isn't "Fire and Ice" amazing?!  Pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage and have fun exploring the site.

For those who don't get to many seminars, Toni is a nationally recognized teacher. This probably means her designs are only available in her classes, but it doesn't hurt to ask if you fall in love.

UPDATE:  ANG's San Barnardino Chapter will be offering two of Toni's classes in 2017.  Ghosts are welcome although you will need to join the SBCANG chapter to take the classes either in person or via mail.  It's a great group, even for those hundreds or thousands of miles away!

Wool and Willow and Circles and Ovals

This week's posting from the Sheena's Sweet Stitches blog has lots of stitches and lots of photographs. This week Sheena shows off a Julia Snyder class at Wool and Willow in Ohio plus she has diagrammed four oval stitches for your stitching pleasure.

Have fun visiting Sheena, Julia Snyder and of course Wool and Willow.  By the way, you can see the canvas Sheena's working on at the Pepperberry website. It's in the fifth row from the top in their "What's New" section.

Two Ways to Curl

Needlepoint For Fun's latest tutorial covers two ways to create curly hair for needlepointed people.

I just happened to notice Jennifer's fabulous chef with her curls and amazing hat when I was writing this.  I thought you'd like to see French knot curls in action (with some woven picots added in I think).

Three Darling --and Finished-- Birds

Ruth Schmuff shows off three ways to finish "Emma's Darling Bird" which was a mystery class at Bedecked and Beaddazzled last year. The design is from Kimberly.

If you have a fourth way to finish this cutie in your mind's eye, you can order the guide and canvas from Ruth's shop. Bet Ruth will kit it out for you if you ask nicely, too!
