Eric the Embroiderer (an Inspirational Film from Australia)

Carol posted the link to this wonderful little film featuring an Australian embroiderer explaining why he does what he does and what it means.  You are going to love watching this, so pour a nice cup of something and settle in to listen to Eric.

Four Wizards

Sandy Arthur shows off four versions of the finished pieces from her Wizard of Paws class. This is a design by Brenda Stofft that Sandy's been teaching here and there.  Click on the first photo of Sandy's version and then work through the pictures, admiring the personal touches.  Each piece was finished slightly differently and each was also stitched a little differently.  I don't care if you are working from a stitch guide or lesson plan, each stitcher puts a bit of his or her own personality into their finished design, don't they?

These are so fun!  Thanks, Sandy!
