Sheep for Halloween

Sharon Quick has just finished her Annie Lane Halloween canvas.  It's called "Sheepy Wicked" and shows a sheep wearing a witch hat beside a black cauldron full of three startled chickens.  Are they brewing up anti-wolf potions?  Or just bathtub gin?  Who knows!?!  The photo shows the finished piece inserted in Sharon's Lee bag with a bit of extra stitching on the sides to make the canvas the exact size.  Want three scheming sheep of your own?  Message Sharon via Facebook to arrange a guide for your own Halloween fun.

Sharon has also finished Annie Lane's "Spinning Wool."  Sharon sees the sheep getting dirtier and dirtier as they roll down the hillside.

Melissa Shirley, Pixie Dust Added UPDATED

Take a look at this Melissa Shirley purse canvas.  It comes in three separate color ways which you can see at the bottom of the page.  Boring, right?

Not after Sandy Arthur gets her hands on it!  Add Sandy's pixie dust to a canvas and you get magic, as you can see from the photo below of one of the finished purses from a class Sandy did at the Needle Bug in Montgomery, Alabama.  It'll knock your socks off!

Sandy is finalizing the stitch guide for this.  You'll be able to pick it up from her website (first link below) and I bet the Needle Bug (second link below) will be happy to get the canvas, guide and thread kit for you in your choice of color ways.

Yolanda Has a Guide

Sandy Arthur continues to have an "exciting" life this year.  (She broke her leg last winter.)

When you get over the sympathetic shock (and stop worrying about YOUR devices), note that Sandy's mystery class using the Day of the Dead Yolanda from Tapestry Fair is over and the stitch guide will be available from Sandy shortly.  So if you didn't take Sandy's class, you can still participate via Sandy's guide.  Here is the finished model.  The guide is now (November 2014) available.

After all, we all need a sombrero and beads like Yolanda's!
