More Charley Harper from Robin UPDATED

Robin King is working away on creating two more class stitch guides for Charley Harper designs (Pelican Pantry and Frog Eat Frog).  After the class for which they were created, Robin will offer these guides to the general public.  If you are a Charley fan, check these cuties out!

UPDATE:  Judy Gartman has posted her "Cardinal Cradle" piece, done using Robin's stitch guide, on Facebook.  Isn't that nest wonderful?  So is the beaded caterpillar, the fuzzy chicks, and those marvelous leaves!

UPDATE #2:  Robin has made her guide for Charley Harper's Christmas Capers available now.  That's the one with the raccoons on the roof, making off with the Christmas decorations.  Lizette posted two photos of her finished canvas using Robin's guide on Facebook so you can see how darling it is.

A Coven of Witches (with Guides) UPDATED

Enriched Stitch's Becki Gebhardt has written (or is writing) guides for all of Melissa Shirley's fairy tale witch series. They've just come back from the finisher so Suzy posted photographs on her shop blog.  Some of these will be taught in the shop but you will be able to pick up the guides and thread kits even if you can't take the class in person.  (Remember, Enriched Stitch does Skype so you might be able to sit in on the class from the comfort of your home.)

UPDATE:  Sandy stitched "Wilameanie" using a guide by Carolyn Hedge Baird.

New Stitch Guides from Amy's Golden Strand

Amy Bunger's June-July 2014 shop newsletter has announced new stitch guides by Amy herself,  and by Lori Carter.
http://www.amybunger.com/f/0614.pdf

Amy has done a guide for Horatio Hornblower Hooter.  This is one of a series of whimsical owls in period costume from JP Designs.  Amy's also finished a guide for Melissa Shirley's Valentine Basket. The thread kits for this Valentine piece from Melissa's basket series will be ready to ship shortly.  (Remember, you cannot buy a standalone guide from Amy's store; you must buy either the canvas or the thread kit--or both--with your stitch guide.)

Amy, who has been VERY busy, has also finished a guide for Zecca's Fox in a Field, and for Ewe and Eye's House with Ships, which screams Nantucket to me, by the way.

Lori's new guide is the latest in Rogue Needlepoint's Tudor series.  She has just finished Katherine Parr and is starting work on Jane Seymour.  The final queen in the series to be stitched will be Katherine Howard, followed by King Henry VIII himself last.

Finally, Amy lists guides that are being worked on which will be ready later this year:
Annie Lane's Dirty Martini (Amy guide)
Rogue Needlepoint's Queen Jane Seymour (Lori guide)
Labors of Love's Baxter poodle (Amy guide)
JP's Pirate Owl "Hysterical Historical Blackbeak Hooter" (Amy guide)
Melissa Shirley's Fourth of July Basket (Amy guide)

Artist at Work (with Dragonflies) UPDATED

Kimberly is working on her newest painted canvas which is called "Flying Jewels" and will have a beautiful intricate border and a string art dragonfly in the corner.  The second link shows the full canvas she's stitching.

http://akimberlydesign.blogspot.com/2013/10/and-away-we-go.html

UPDATE:  Kimberly taught this at Bedecked and Beaddazzled which will make the kit available if you ask.
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2014/11/its-all-about-big-bug.html

Kimberly started out as a counted thread designer and illustrator.  She is now creating painted canvases which she stitches herself so that the stitch guide has her amazing counted work.  She is the only designer I know who is combining painted canvases with counted work--the best of both worlds!

Ruth Schmuff distributes Kimberly's work so watch for the final piece on the Bedecked and Beaddazzled website.

Stitch Guides from Nashville Needleworks

I just learned Connie Glenn Camp at Nashville Needleworks has a stitch guide for the Ashley Dillion/Susan Roberts Designs Easter Bunny and friends canvas.  So I checked their website, hoping for a photo of the finished model.  I didn't find out but I did discover a listing of all the kits with guides they offer.
http://www.nashvilleneedleworks.com/kits.html

The shop also has a listing of all the guides available.

https://nashvilleneedleworks.com/product-category/stitch-guide/

There is a beaded frog weight by Connie, the Easter Bunny canvas already mentioned, Easter eggs by Melissa Shirley, Victorian Christmas kids (also Melissa Shirley), and much more.  Many of these pieces were from classes taught at the shop.

It is likely that you will have to purchase the entire kit to get the guide but the website doesn't say.  Check with the shop to be certain.

Let's Visit Paris

Robin Givens of Hilary Jean Designs has just finished her Paris Eiffel Tower piece and is now working on the stitch guide.  She posted a photo on Facebook.

Here's the Hilary Jean website.  You can find the unstitched but very feminine tribute to Paris in the second link.
