Amy Leaves Another Clue UPDATED AGAIN

Amy Bunger dropped another clue on Facebook about her 2013 Home Study canvas. She says it is stitch painted.  We know courtesy of Jackie that the designer Amy will use is female and that the project won't be holiday themed.  Amy added, "Designer not used before on another Home Study....not dimensional, but odds are it won't be framed either......and you may quote me."

I don't think "stitch painted" narrows it down much!  Bad Amy for teasing us so!

UPDATE:  Another clue from Amy on Facebook:  "...the hint was that the canvas is "stitch painted." Now another hint is that this designer rarely paints on #18 mesh and really wasn't happy about having to do it (but she did a FABULOUS JOB)."

ANOTHER UPDATE:  Stephanie has posted photos of the current Home Study, Melissa Shirley's Thanksgiving House.  These show upcoming lessons so if you are working the 2012 Home Study or are just a curious bystander, please visit Stephanie's blog for an update.

Rugs for the Hunt Country

If you live over the mountain from me among the horse farms, you will want to stitch rugs like these.  They are lovely, traditional works of art.

Sometimes nothing works like tent stitches in wool.
