Eleven New Guides from Ruth Schmuff

Ruth Schmuff has done another of her famous embellishment weekends.  There were eleven new canvases this time, which means eleven new guides.  There won't be full photos of any of these until the eleven stitchers finish them, but you can get a glimpse of Ruth's plans here.  It's fun to browse with the bonus that you may fall in love with one of the designs.  Have fun!

Tony and Choko and Machi (Leigh Designs) UPDATED

Beth has posted a finished photograph of one of Leigh Design's large geishas (this one is called "Choko") on Facebook.  She stitched this for a client of Anne's Needlepoint using Tony Minieri's guide.

Beth is also stitching Leigh's "Machi" but it is not done yet.  Just FYI if you want to see what Tony's guides for these two pieces end up looking like.
