Open House at the Studio

More photos from around the Studio primped for our Open House last week.  Wish we could have Open House parties all the time! 

We received some beautiful flowers from very thoughtful friends.  One bouquet came early and I didn’t get a photoSad smile  Thanks Gail!

A cheery bouquet from Shawna with Tina’s favorite’s, Sunflowers.  The vase made a beautiful addition to our front cash register table!  Shawna is a former floral designer and now an expert fabric cutter in the studio.

Another pretty from Mary Jean, our buddy from Houston….come meet Mary Jean in November!  Delivered by Flowers by Jackie right here in Lakeport.  It is sweet with the Bells of Ireland and spicy from the Stock.  Also has cabbage, berries and fluffy green things…interesting and super.

Thanks, again, to all of you nice friends – NEW and OLD – who visited Saturday and come in to see our new Needlework Studio every day.  See you soon!

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day.  Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design . I embroidered Santa holding a mini Christmas tree on a Sage Green striped tea towel.  He only took a couple of hours one night to complete.  A hint for you to speed your embroidery.  Thread a crewel embroidery needle for each of the colors in your design.  You won’t always be pulling the thread out and changing color.  This little cutie would make a great ornament too.  Just do the embroidery on muslin and finish in your favorite way.  FUN!

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning.  I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird!  When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time!   Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design.  Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
