Teal Flower Tiles (Zecca and Ruth Schmuff)

One of Ruth Schmuff's students stitched Zecca's "Teal Flower Tile" in a class at Ruth's shop, Bedecked and Beadazzled.

Isn't it lovely?  You can get the guide from Ruth and the canvas, too, in case your favorite shop doesn't have it in stock.

Zebra, Panda and Penguin (Eleanor Grosch and Ruth Schmuff)

Paige's black and white portrait of a zebra, panda and a penguin proves black and white isn't boring!

This is an Eleanor Grosch design, available from Ruth Schmuff's shop, Bedecked and Beadazzled.  Ruth did the stitch guide for it.  I believe the guide comes with the canvas but you can check with the shop to be certain.

Free Guide From Ridgewood Stitchery

Ridgewood Stitchery has started showcasing a canvas from their stock with a free short stitch guide to get your creativity going.  The first canvas is Kate Dickerson's "Santa Boots with Candy Canes."

It's not an elaborate guide but it is enough to get you started. I hope they continue to profile canvases this way.  It's a lovely service for stitchers.

Revolt (David Galchutt and Ruth Schmuff)

Ruth Schmuff shows off two versions of David Galchutt's "Revolt," stitched by two people who took the class about this she offered in her shop, Bedecked and Beadazzled.

It's totally different from most painted canvases.  Who knew stitching robots could be so much fun!
