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.
