Went to the Las Vegas Gift Show

After the Long Beach Quilt Festival we headed to Las Vegas to check out the wholesale Gift Market.

Had a great time after several years of not attending.  Now with our NEW Studio-Store we had a reason – HA!

We found some great display furniture to use and show off our NeedleArt goodies in the shop and maybe at quilt shows, too.  Candles are on the way to give a wonderful scent to enjoy in the Studio and in your homes.  We also found fabulous clocks we can hardly wait to hang on the wall.  Bird houses, lamps, metal ornaments and lots of other goodies are coming soon.  I’ll add photos and urge you to make a visit to Kelseyville and check them out!

Across the street from the Mart is one of the most interesting buildings I have seen.  It is all twists and turns – kind of looks like it melted in the Nevada sun! 
It is is brain center and is sure to put someone with a brain injury over the edge wondering about their sanity!

As our show purchases arrive we will photograph and share with you…stay tuned!

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! I used our handy dandy Transfer-Eze to print the Freebie Santa and finger press on our Dunroven House tea towel.  The Freebie design can be put on your light box to trace directly onto the fabric – BUT – toweling is a little thicker and rougher than muslin.  Using Transfer-Eze solves the problem.  The smooth Transfer-Eze film put on your towel gives you a nice de...

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!
