Sue Goes to Woodlawn UPDATED

I thought folks would like to read about Sue's trip to Woodlawn. Sounds like she had a blast.

Here are photos of some of the pieces Sue mention, in the order which she talked about them.  First, Ro Pace's Atlantis Rising.

I don't know which blue Nancy Cucci piece she saw, but these are typical of Nancy's teaching pieces.

Kurdy Biggs is a counted canvaswork designer under the Threedles name.  Again, I don't know specifically which designs Sue saw stitched.  Thanks to The Threedles Fairy, I know which pieces Kurdy Biggs exhibited--The Butterfly Effect in the Midnight color way...

Triple Crown in the Preakness colors, and ...

Here is Melita's Crescent River, an original design.  Use the search feature to watch this being stitched on Melita's blog.

I don't know which Rita Hayworth canvas Sue saw but it might have looked something like Sandy Arthur's version of a Leigh Designs canvas from Leigh's "Femme Fatale" series.
UPDATE:  Yes, this is the canvas that Sue admired.  I didn't think to ask if she used the stitch guide.

Vicky Finds a New Tool

Vicky's been on the road and while she was out and about, she found a new style of lighted magnifier!  It's not on the website of A Stitch in Time so you will have to contact the shop for more information.

Jenny Henry has discovered the finished needlepoint and kits from the designer Kasia.

You can see Kasia's work, which Jenny describes as "whimsical" and also as making a design statement about the everyday, in her Etsy shop.   Thanks, Jenny!
