New Geometric Update  

I have begun working, again, on the geometric I posted in September.  It is going slowly, but now it seems to be taking shape, or at least in mind......if not where everyone can see.  The stuctural outline has not changed, but the bargello theme I had in mind seems to be changing somewhat.  The colors are still the same too.....with a few darker colors yet to be introduced.  I used Copic markers for the center square and probably will have a few other small areas with marker.  As you can see, I am trying out some different thread counts around the center. And, there are a few long narrow rectangles, yet unstitched, that will be filled with bugle beads.  More to come. By the way, the tentative design title is Baroque Diamonds.

Also, now Thanksgiving is behind us and many of us are in full gift-buying mode, there are some lovely examples of handmade scissor and stitch fob sets on the website at http://www.terrydryden.com/handmade-stitching-accessories/.  Only the Milefiori set below is available here, but McCall will also take special orders up until December 13th for Christmas delivery.

Check out her Etsy website for more details: www.mccallmillerdesigns.etsy.com.

We are also working hard to ship out the last batch of kits tomorrow for the upcoming ANG Cyberworkshop. Moroccan Sands' first lesson will post this Saturday, December 1st.  We will be working with a few fairly new threads as it was necessary to replace about six or seven discontinued colors or no longer available threads.  It will be exciting to see how these subtle changes in colors and textures will come together.  

The holidays can be a stressful time, so try to make time for some stitching time.
