Think dry thoughts
First, I want to thank everyone who is taking time to enter my Needlework Show drawing by posting in the comments (or by email).
This weekend, the Husband will be riding in the BP MS150 bike ride from Houston to Austin. We’ve both done this ride before, and this year he is going to be a ride marshall. So nothing would be out of the ordinary for the weekend, except that the weather is likely to play havoc with the whole thing. So I would appreciate it if everyone would send dry thoughts to southeast Texas for the weekend. Also, no crashing thoughts!
I had to drop by the LNS this past Tuesday to pick up a doorprize I won from their Easter/Peeps celebration and was tickled to see this:
Those are charts and threadpacks laid out for the evening’s fiber class. This is a year-long class that meets once a month and each month the students learn about using different fibers. It was exciting for me because the Advent Ornament designs are being used as the basis for this class. So that picture is of a full class using Cross Eyed Kat designs! I love to see my designs being stitched!
Somehow I’ve made a bunch of progress on Briar Rose: Page 4 this week. I’m not sure how that happened, especially since I spent one evening reading.
I’m loving how this is turning out and almost can’t wait to backstitch it! How crazy is that. Also, in this not so wonderful picture from my camera phone, the sparkles from the fabric really pop out. I’m stitching this on crystal Legacy linen from Picture This Plus. The Legacy color provides a nice, slightly mottled background and the crystals give it just a touch of fairy-tale-ness.

I would love to see another medieval labyrinth to compliment your Chartes design which I am in the process of stitching. I find even the stitching of the Labyrinth to be meditative and soothing.

I hope you have a great weekend and not crash nor get wet.
I love your offerings in the needlwork show I made notes for the Dragon Welcome and the cat on the comforter.

I totally forgot to mention that I would love to do a soothing mandela type pattern with vibrant colors.
