Just sent pictures of the class projects I'll be teaching for the Country Sampler in Spring Green Wisconsin next week.......and decided to give them a preview here as well.
The first one is a little punch needle piece...."Stars and Bars"
It gets mounted on a 4" box lid and makes a darling pin keep.
This piece is called "Grande Olde Flag Sampler" and is mounted on a large horn book which you will distress and finish painting in class.
Jeanne has decided to allow extra kits to be sold.....so if you're interested, contact her at,www.sgcountrysampler.com
I talked to her this AM and she said there were still a few available.......finishing instructions will be included with the horn book. (I conned John into making them for me again, but there was a limit!!!!!)
That's all for now...I've got to get these kits made up and I'm still working on new designs for upcoming teaching assignments . It doesn't look like I'll get to stitch much for myself this summer.....but with all the new designs in the works, at least I'll get to STITCH!!!!!
Just got these framed pieces back and I had to share them with you....yes, I actually do get to stitch other people's designs!!!!! These are both old but I still love them.
The piece above is "Women of the Mayflower" from an old Fine Lines magazine and I just had to stitch it since I had relatives on the Mayflower.
And this one is an old Examples from the Heart titled The Green House Sampler (I think)
I've been doing a lot of designing lately.....which as you can see really excites Brewster and Chessa...but at least they do stick close by while I'm working......and I much prefer this location to when they drape themselves across my work space ...just to make sure I notice that they're around.
I'll be teaching at the Country Sampler in Spring Green WI in a couple of weeks.....I think June 7-9.......and I told Jeanne I'd give you peek at what I'm working on.
The piece is patriotic and will be mounted on a primitive horn book which we will finish in class.
Stacy Nash and Maggie Bonanomi will be teaching projects as well...can't wait to see what they come up with.
"It's a Grande Olde Flag Gathering", I'm told, still has a few opening and if you're interested, you can find all the details at, www.sgcountrysampler.com
I know it's going to be a fun weekend.....I hope to see some of you there!!
As soon as I get this piece done.....I've got to start working on more new stuff for other teaching "gigs" later this summer.....no rest for the wicked, I guess...... but I'm not complaining.....teaching in different areas of this great country of ours really give me wonderful inspiration !
Until next time , may you all find a little time to take a stitch or two preferably curled up with your favorite pet....it's just the BEST!!
