Mod Merry Fabulous Finish!!

Congrats to my friend Clarissa H. on her beautiful stitch and finish of Mod Merry!  The finishing was done with M's Canvashouse in Kentucky, and what a great job they did!  I just love the little elves hiding in the bow loops, and just look at those feet!!  Love this!!

A Mod Merry Week!

My friend Kathie K. and I both got our "Mod Merry" finishes back this week, hers from the framers and mine from the finishers, The Spinning Wheel shop.  Love how those red & green mats set off the colors in Kathie's, plus that frame is so pretty!  Mine was made into a box with corded trim, I'm going to use it to hold my Christmas cards. I am super happy with how it turned out! 

Finishing Off the Week!

Lots and lots of great finishing to show off today, thought I'd clean up my photo files this Sunday morning and get next week started off clean!

Teaching "Mod Merry" at Fancy Stitches!

If you've been following my blog recently, you'll recall that I was pretty excited about my class last weekend at Fancy Stitches.  The weekend has now come and gone, and for me at least, it was even better than I had anticipated.  Being a novice teacher, I was a little nervous, especially when I realized  my class was made up of 12 of the very best stitchers in the Fort Worth/Dallas area!  I dare not estimate the combined years of experience in that room!  I had nothing to worry about as it turns out, as I am very lucky to call these ladies my very good friends too, and everyone seemed to have a great time.  The amount of progress everyone made on their canvas was really impressive, as was the fact that they stitched all day, hardly taking a break!  I can't imagine ever being lucky enough to have a group like this again, but I can hope!  

I have to thank the shop's owner, Gayle, for taking the photos and sharing them with me.  Here is a look at Table One:

And here is Table Two:

Both tables plus part of the fabulous Model Wall in the background:

And our project for the day, Mod Merry:

Make a point of visiting Fancy Stitches if you can, it is a fabulous shop, with more stitched models than you will ever be able to take in on a single visit!  If you would like a kit for this design, just give them a call at 817-641-4761 and they will fix you right up!  

"Mod Merry" Class at Fancy Stitches September 12th!

Please join me if you can Saturday September 12th for "Mod Merry" at Fancy Stitches in Cleburne, Texas.  We had 12 folks due in class last time I checked, but I think they will be able to make room for a couple more.  And Gayle and the girls are always happy to send a kit to you if you can't make it in!  Just give them a buzz at 817 641 4761.  See you soon I hope! 

Hey, It's a Little Early for Christmas in July, Isn't It?

It is early to mention Christmas and holiday stuff, but since it's a class I thought probably earlier is better!   I will be teaching "Mod Merry" on September 12th at Fancy Stitches.  Ghosts are welcome if you can't make it there!  If you love bling and fun stitches, this is the class for you!
