New designs on display in Philadelphia

Well, the ANG 40th Anniversary begins this Friday.  I will be flying to Philadelphia that day and there for 8 days.  I hope many of you are getting to attend this year.....if so, please stop and say hello!

My three new designs, recently discussed in this blog, will be on display in the Anaheim 2013 display. I always look forward to seeing all the wonderful projects that will be available the next year.  Even though the photos are very good in the brochure, they just can't capture the three dimensional quality of the needlework.  Be sure to stop by the exhibit if you are in attendance.  

Last but not least, Summer Garden Collage, Tiebele Nights and Pear Duet are now added to my Teaching Portfolio pages.   

Two New Designs

I just finished the beading on two new projects.....always the last thing to do!  Of course they will be traveling to the framers this week, so I am interested to see what she suggests.  Tiebele Nights will be a one-day workshop and I plan to develop a second colorway....all rusts, taupes, creama and charcoal.   The size is approximately 5" square.  The beading? The four "Xs" at the points of the diamond....bugle beads and 8 mm flat square beads. There is also a little area using the Copic markers! 

 

Summer Garden Collage is a two to three-day workshop.  This might make an interesting series?! That leaves Fall, Winter and Spring.  Any suggestions of what to include in any or all of them? The approximate size is 8" square.  The flower centers are a mix of bead sizes.  Again, there are several markers used here and multiple small areas of exposed canvas. 

I still have one more new design to finish stitching.  My stitching deadline is July 15th, so I will be traveling with it on my next two teaching trips.  If you are attending SCR in Shreveport or San Bernadino, stop by to sneak a peak of Pear Duet!

Hope everyone is finding lots of stitching time this summer.

One framed and one pillow

Here is Color Kaleidoscope finished into a really cute pillow.  Marlene, of Marlene Custom Pillows, did a great job.  The fabric has an interesting weave to it and she custom dyed both the ball fringe and the corkscrew fringe to match. The overall dimensions of the pillow are 13" square.  It is a little hard to see all the beads, so look carefully. 

 And here is a picture of Leaf Collage now that it is framed.  The main outside mat is a medium gold and the inner mat is a dark red.  The two rows of darkest blue along the inside edge barely show. 

Both of these will be offered at the ANG seminar next year in San Antonio.  Hope to see you there!

Now back to finishing up kits for this year's seminar in Columbus.  The end of the summer has arrived!  Where did my summer go? Only 5 more days into September 1st.....and to me.....the beginning of fall.

Happy stitching.....
