Embellishing

Recently I have posted photos showing needlepoint with lots of decorative stitches along with different types of embellishing.  I want to share another piece by a Bug stitcher that really takes the embellishing to a new level!!  This Janet Zickler Casey design was stitched by Donna B!

Stitch Groups!!

This week has been a week full of stitching…I know – I witnessed it!  Monday started the week with the daytime Build a Stitch Notebook Class and we had added two new stitchers!  That is one of the nice things about the BSN (Build a Stitch Notebook) – you can come when you can – we do three new stitches each month.  We offer these classes twice a month – one day and one evening! Wednesday brought our regular Wednesday stitch in and WOW we were packed!!  Then Thursday,  the local Guild had scheduled a “Guild Stitch In” and the stitching tables were full again!  Here are a couple photos for more check out the tab to the right “Bug Photos”

Another great example!

WOW, Karen your stocking is absolutely gorgeous!!!  Here are some photos of Karen’s stocking by Tapestry Tent.  Karen used a variety of stitches, threads, goldwork, swarovski crystals and beads and BEAUTIFUL stitching!!!  Magnificent!!
