New Kit Available

 I have definitely too many things going right now but I am happy to say Shorebird Avocet is now ready to go with options, including stretcher bars and threads kit on Twitchetts cards and thread ring to add to the colorwashed 18-count canvas and wire-bound 1/2 size instruction book. 

 I have included a photo of the thread kit which is available.  It has 14 different threads, including Thread Gatherers' Sea Grass and Oriental Linen plus a few several other over-dyed and hand-dyed threads..... lots of texture.  As you can see, these are all partial skeins, but there's plenty to complete the project with enough for a few options.  Of course this could also be a good project to sort through stash!

My next order of business is to create the Description Page, so it will be on the website in about an hour. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Two New Designs

I've just spent a few hours updating the website and have moved two designs from my Teaching Portfolio to Designs for Sale:  Winter Frost and Stripes Galore.  Pictures are shown here so if one of them strikes your fancy, the links will send you to their pages for more details.   But, if I've missed anything, please don't hesitate to email me with questions, or comments.

 WINTER FROST

Over the next few days I also hope to add new Workshop Description pages for the three new teaching designs I've recently talked about.  It seems many groups and guilds are planning for 2010 and 2011 right now, so if you are one of those groups and need information now, please let me know and I can send you more details.  I will be traveling a bit over the next few months, but can usually reply within a day or two.   Hope everyone has a great weekend!
