The Witches of Summer

Ridgewood Needlepoint which reopens at their new location TODAY (!) has posted photographs of the witches stitched in the summer classes. Aren't they fun?  I believe the canvases are by Melissa Shirley.

Another ANG Seminar Wrap Up Posting

Vicky DeAngelis gives us one more glimpse of her four day class at Seminar. Her fellow students sure are working on some amazing pieces!

I am so glad.  Not only is her stitching wonderful, she worked hard as a Seminar Volunteer.

Her Royal Highness Comes to Life UPDATED

Mary Ruth Erica just posted a progress report on her Queen Elizabeth I piece she is stitching through a Shining Needle Society cyberclass with Gay Ann Rogers.  Doesn't this look great?!

You can see other versions of the First Elizabeth, some finished and some underway, on Gay Ann Rogers' website.  Don't miss the additional photos on the second page.
