December 2009
It has been awhile since I posted and alot has happened and gone on.
First and 
foremost has been the addition of adding hand dyed fabrics to our product line. In the past we have used several different companies such as: Crossed Wing Collection, Picture this Plus and Zweigart, but we found that we needed to create our own colours to go with our designs as well as other designers. You will note that on our website we have added a gallery page showing some of our fabrics on our designs as well as other desginers. This will allow you to see the different designs that can be done on our fabric. Watch for updates in the next little while as several new designs are in the works. Just to show the look of one of our favorite fabrics is Blue Frost which we stitched the Mirabilia - Winter White Santa - the fabric just makes the Santa pop! This was stitched on an opalesence 28ct fabric.

Watch for the posting of the new teaching pieces for the show. The pieces taught this year are now

The new little bit of news that I can say is that several of us designers are considering doing a retreat teaching some of our very special, unique pieces that will only be available in class. check back with I promise to post more information in regards to our retreat over the next several months.
Since winter is on our doorsteps many of us are in our homes sitting around a cozy fire and stitching away to our hearts content. Happy stitching to all!
