To the Shore with Peter Ashe (Virginia Barney)

Virginia  has completed her guide for Peter Ashe's portrait of the New England beach cottage and it is now available.  You can get the canvas from Julia's Needleworks (Peter's distributor) and the guide by emailing Virginia.  Remember, all stitch guide writer contact information I have is listed in the tab above.

Virginia's Stitch Along Sundays (Scott Church) UPDATED

Virginia Barney is going to do a Sunday stitch along, using Scott Church's "Zebra Dressed for Winter" piece.  This is a fairly large piece (9 x12 inches) but it is on 13 count so it should go fairly quickly.

Scott's work is distributed by CBK, so any shop can order this for you if they don't happen to have a copy already.

The first lesson is about adding large snowflake patterns to the background.  You'll find a list of threads and the various snowflake patterns diagrammed here.  Stay tuned for additional updates next Sunday as Virginia blog-stitches her way through this cute project.

Here is lesson two, all about the zebra and his hat.

Festival Owls Stitch Guide

Carolyn Hedge Baird just posted on Facebook that she's nearly finished stitching the Vicki Sawyer/Melissa Shirley canvas called "Festive Owls."  You can get a good idea of what the finished piece will look like here.  I think it's magnificent!
