Ruth Schmuff has chosen her early fall mystery class--Love You More's Three Stwooges!

I'll update this article as Ruth posts her lesson outcomes.  First, she dealt with the sky, the pumpkins and ground, and the spooky trees.

Next she stitched the owl faces and their hats!

And now the owls have ruffs!

Ruth is right, this canvas just screams happiness.

UPDATE:  Ruth's model is back from the finisher, just in time for Halloween 2017.  It's a fabulous standup.

Sheena Goes Shopping

Sheena has been on the road in Ohio and takes us to Louise's Needlework..,

... and then to What's the Point? Needlepoint.
http://www.sheenasstitches.com/columbus-part-2/

Both trips have stitch diagrams and cat photos tossed in for free!  Thanks, Sheena.  I love your original stitches and getting virtual tours of some of the great shops I've only seen online is just icing on the cake.

Stitching a purse that is a tribute to someone you love and then carrying it in their honor is a fabulous idea!

I'm guessing this dates to the early 1970s.  What do you think?
