A little needlework departure for a friend. I think I need to use stabilizer next time for this very lovely, but very lightweight, linen.

Today's tip: If, like me, you enjoy needlepointing with a variety of fibers, here is a sample of what you can do with DMC six-strand floss and overdyed specialty cotton and silk flosses. This technique varies the number of strands used on this canvas (14ct by Painted Palm Designs) from 2 to 8. This allows for extensive blending and "needlepainting" with the long and short stitch on a fairly simple painted canvas. Want more details? Comment below!

I'm in awe of how beautifully my friend Jane Shaffer Lee stitched this canvas!! She chose the design and font, I painted it to match her Turtle Bag!

My friend is making great progress on her Turtle Bags insert!! I love designing these for clients who appreciate these great bags!

I am pretty fired up! I will be teaching two classes, needlepoint and watercolor, at on Wednesday afternoons! Stay tuned for all the details!
