It's been live for a week or so. You can find it at the old address of <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/">www.needledelights.com</a> - it has a completely new look and is easy to navigate. You can subscribe on the website and then will receive regular email newsletters from me. I'll also be blogging from the website as soon as I complete some training so this blog will be closing down. <br />
<br />
I'm starting to make kits for this year's Mystery - I ordered some extra threads to make a few additional kits so if you missed the signup and are still interested, email me. Class starts February 14th. You can see all the details <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2pscdaofdb5xnn/SNS%20Mystery%202020.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I'm working on exciting new designs to release at Nashville in March. Here's the beginning of a larger design I'm calling Gypsy. I loved working with the rich jewel tone colors and the design has a Bohemian feel. I can't wait to show you the rest of it when I officially announce my Nashville releases!<br />

I'll have a few other things plus a new Color Delights. I'll be adding three or four designs to the Color Delights series this year! I also have a few other things up my sleeve in 2020 so be sure to subscribe on the new website to not miss anything!<br />

Delightfully - <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's official - registration is open for my 2020 Mystery - Banded by Bargello! You can get all the details <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2pscdaofdb5xnn/SNS%20Mystery%202020.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">here</a>. I used Planet Earth silks and Pepper Pot for the first time in this project. The silk is a bit thick for 18ct which made it perfect for bargello with excellent coverage. I loved the Pepper Pot so expect to see it in future projects. I also used overdyed threads from ThreadworX - pearl cotton, floss, Vineyard Silk, and metallic braid. Here's a photo of the threads I used and a couple of snippets of my stitched piece. Using all the ThreadworX was like reconnecting with an old friend - I used quite a variety!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been home from Seminar for a week now and am almost caught up with everything. Seminar was a whirlwind - a jam packed schedule with classes, events, and squeezing in some visiting time with old and new friends. My students were especially wonderful and I've heard from a few who've finished their pieces - it gives me great joy to provide enjoyable projects people want to finish! I taught two classes - Beaded Bermuda Reef and Tranquility. Beaded Bermuda Reef is a new teaching design and I will be teaching it for ANG again at Encore in St Louis at the end of March next year. I'll also be teaching it at the Mid-Atlantic EGA Regional Seminar in Gettysburg and at a few guilds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year brought the last design in my "Peace Trilogy", Tranquility, into my teaching portfolio. Here are two of the colorways - Wood Pond and April Mai, named for the Gloriana threads they use. It's fun to see how the piece changes, depending on the different colors used.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm headed back to Texas in a couple of weeks for Destination Dallas, a wholesale trade show. I'm looking forward to seeing my shopowner friends. Although it can be hectic, it'll be more low key for me than Seminar! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'll be releasing two new Holiday Delights - <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/HD8/11.html" target="_blank">Hanukkah</a> and <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/HD9/11.html" target="_blank">Thanksgiving</a>. I was born on Thanksgiving Day so I am especially partial to Thanksgiving and turkeys. It's fun to be a "turkey baby" and I often had pumpkin pie as my "birthday cake" when I was growing up. Since Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, my birthday doesn't often fall on Thanksgiving but this year I am lucky to be celebrating my birthday on Thanksgiving Day! </span></div>

I leave a week from today and every moment from now until then will be spent getting everything ready to load into the car. Five days of teaching, Teacher Showcase, and of course, EXPO! I'm looking forward to it all...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the meantime, registration is open for a new online class through Shining Needle Society. This design is close to my heart as my mother and I designed it together. We are as different as night and day in design style and personality so combining our talents was a fun challenge. My love of all things related to needle and thread come directly from her and I was lucky to have her to guide me into the world of teaching needlepoint at the national level. Now we want to offer this class one more time as mom is retiring from teaching. You can get all the details </span><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycva41b48uhrclc/SNS_Duality_2019.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> - registration ends soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Duality is a mostly geometric design with the addition of batik fabric applique - if you've not put fabric on a piece of canvas, it adds some interest and is easier than you think. We make it super easy in this class as we prepare all the appliques in the kits! We both stitched the design - mom in her warm fall colors and me in my cool spring/summer colors! Here they are...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It's been a busy couple of months and I can finally share the new designs I will be releasing soon. I will be heading to Nashville at the end of next week for one of the most fun weekends of the year. It's a crazy fun whirlwind connecting with old friends and shopowners from all over the country. At this point, we start keeping our fingers crossed for decent weather!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm enjoying my series of Holiday Delights - more whimsical than my usual designs and a great size for a quick project. The latest is <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/401/11.html" target="_blank">St Patrick's Day</a>.

There's something wonderful about using a thread color I've never used before! It's a bit larger than my Destination series designs, finishing about 8x11. It was fun to work on a size canvas (12x16) I've not used before - it was like a new freedom. I will do more this size!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Several years ago, I started a series of "Ripple Rotation" designs. It has taken a while but I've finally created the third in the series, <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/438/11.html" target="_blank">Ripple Rotation 3</a>. Like the others in the series, it is worked entirely with overdyed Vineyard Silk from ThreadworX - no laying required! I used a few of their newer colors - love the purple and aqua. I promise not to wait so long to do the next in this series! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">At long last, I have created some Christmas ornaments, something I've had running around in my brain literally for years!. My first foray into designing counted needlepoint were Christmas ornaments for a class I taught when I had my shop. I love simple round Christmas ornaments so I created <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/438/11.html" target="_blank">Christmas Rounds 1</a>. There are four ornaments in the pattern and I have more in the works. </span></div>

I taught this online a couple of years ago and am now making it available to all. There are NINE alternate colorways listed in the pattern. I let a little canvas peek through behind the star in the center so the design is worked on the color "Sandstone" canvas and the alternate colorways suggest complementary canvas colors to the threads. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm excited to announce that I am offering an online Mystery Class through Shining Needle Society again. For the first time, the Mystery design is square. It's also different than my other Mysteries but does cover the canvas completely. Class will start on January 1st - I think it'll be fun to start a brand new project on New Year's Day. I've already heard of several groups of people who will get together to stitch this project - what fun! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">You can see all the details <a href="https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SNS_Home_Room/files/SNS%20%20Mystery%202019.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> or <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/8sk1muzswn4m2gt/SNS%20%20Mystery%202019.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">here</a>. The above photo is a sneak peek of a very small portion of the design. I drew the whole design on the canvas before I began stitching and really enjoyed this new process for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm offering four different colorways for this project or you can choose your own. I will show you photos of the threads for the colorways. The Watercolours and Pearl Cottons are firm but the Vineyard Silks and Rainbow Gallery fibers may be tweaked some after I finish traveling this month. There are a lot of threads/colors in each of the options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My original colorway is based on the Tahiti and Stained Glass (yes I used them both!) Watercolours. These are truly my happy colors!</span><br />

I have used a good portion of the summer creating next year's Mystery class - I'm almost done with the stitching and registration will begin soon - details to come after I get back from Dallas.. In the meantime...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm heading to Dallas this weekend to exhibit at Destination Dallas. Although it's mostly a painted canvas show (so I've heard; this is my first time exhibiting), I'm hoping to introduce counted needlepoint to some shopowners. I'm thrilled to have a good friend riding along with me so I don't have to do the 10 hour drive alone. She is from Dallas and is thrilled to go along with me and visit family while I do the tradeshow! WIN/WIN!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I will be releasing three new patterns. <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/380/11.html" target="_blank">Valentine's Day</a> is the newest addition to the Holiday Delights Series. I especially love all the different types of stitches I could use to make hearts!</span><br />

Each square measures one inch - thus the name "Inchies". This was the first time I left some empty canvas threads within a design - a personal challenge for me that I've since embraced in some of my designs. I usually like to cover the canvas completely. I've shown a couple of my student's pieces below - there are multiple colorways listed in the pattern.</span></div>

I'm happy to be able to offer it to everyone now. It also has multiple colorways listed. This is my original colorway based on the Watercolours called Mint Julep. It's softer in person than this photo portrays.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The next two photos show the Melon colorway - the first is done with light borders like my original version and the second version is done with dark borders. I had a student who requested a "darker look" so I changed only the border color to make the piece more dramatic to suit her personal taste and décor. It's amazing what changing just the border color does to the look of a piece. The framing also affects the overall look - I was pleased with both of these students' work.</span><br />

Although I love flowers and would like to have a beautifully landscaped yard and garden, I'm not a big fan of actually working with dirt and yard tools. After planting a bunch of flowers and a few vegetables this past weekend (with my father's help - he's a fabulous gardener!), I'm enjoying the view of my backyard from the window next to my sewing machine! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Now that the dreaded yardwork is done, for the most part anyway, I'm getting back to finishing up the instructions for a new design so I can get it to the printer this afternoon. I will be releasing two new designs next week on May 15th. I've sent all the info to the shops and just put them up on my website on my <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/browse/11.html" target="_blank">Coming Soon</a> page. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">First up is Colorblocks. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This design uses a similar palette to my Colorwaves design. I love working with this bright color scheme using all the colors of the rainbow. I used Watercolours, DMC Pearl Cotton, and an assortment of Rainbow Gallery threads to create 9 blocks which blend into each other. The block in the center of the design has all of the colors. It was such fun to create during the winter months when the weather was a bit gray. I feel like I could stitch it again to celebrate the summer months but alas, I must move on to something new...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I've created another Holiday Delights design - 4th of July. Although my first Holiday Delights was Independence Day, I wanted to do another patriotic piece in the same format as the Christmas, Halloween, and Easter designs. I especially enjoyed doing the flags on this piece and am looking forward to creating more Holiday Delights!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">February is
one of the craziest months as the Nashville wholesale market is the first
weekend in March. For the first time ever, I had completed stitching all of my
designs by the end of December and managed to eke out a new Holiday Delights in
January! I felt great being ahead of the game but after finishing the stitching, there's the instruction writing,
printing, stuffing thousands of patterns into plastic bags (I do have help,
thank goodness!), communicating with my shops and distributor, packing the
models and patterns to travel to market, and more boring but oh so necessary
administrative details. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Did I say
I love this time off year?! I really do as I look forward to market like a
fabulous dessert - I get to see all my shopowner friends and other designers.
We all generally work our fingers to the bone while having a fabulous time with
some belly laughs and the promise of delightful sales.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Last year's Mystery is now available as a pattern or kit. This was an "out of the box" design for me and it was interesting to design on a colored canvas instead of white or eggshell. I was challenged by a person dear to me to use a bright color of canvas and leave it exposed for the 2017 Mystery. Razzmatazz is the result of her request. I was inspired by our conversations when I was coming up with the idea of this Mystery and it seemed so "out there" to me personally, I continued the "challenge" theme and added more glitz by using beads and called it Razzmatazz. Ann started to stitch the Tahiti version on yellow canvas and unfortunately, she passed before she finished the design. Her spirit lives on in this design I know she enjoyed it in the last months of her life. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It has been a busy fall. I finished up this year's teaching in October, went to Shipshewana for my annual quilting retreat in November, and started a remodel of my master bathroom which also included replacing the flooring and painting the master bedroom. It has been quite disruptive to say the least but I know I will be thrilled with the end result and am hoping it might be done by Christmas. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My brother is a contractor and is doing the work for me. He lives three hours away so he brings a helper and comes down for four or five days every other week and stays at my house while I go stay somewhere else! I've been living mostly out of my suitcase for about six weeks now. Staying away from home for big chunks of time has allowed me to get quite a bit of stitching done. I'm working on new designs to release at the Nashville market - I wish I could show you some but it's a bit early for that! I'm most excited about the larger design I'm currently designing and stitching. It has been in my head for several years and it's fun to see it coming to life on canvas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Last summer I was asked to design a special piece for the South Central Region of EGA to teach online next year. This is Cranberry Star and registration for it is happening now (deadline of Dec 15th to sign up is quickly approaching). You must be a member of EGA to take this class but you can contact me to sign up for the class before joining EGA. If you're already a member of EGA in a different region, you just need to join a chapter in SCR as a "plural". Again, you can sign up for the class now and take care of the EGA membership issue before class starts next year. I have to order all the supplies next week!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's the first day of Autumn - yippee!! Although my air conditioning is still blasting, there's the promise of cooler weather coming soon. I wait for it every year with great anticipation. This is one of my favorite times of the year - football season has started and baseball season is winding down. I'm hoping the Cubs repeat in the World Series!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The holidays approach and I have finished two new "Holiday Delights" for Halloween and Christmas. I had been thinking about these designs for a long time and I'm pleased with how they turned out. Since 99.9% of my designs are "just geometrics", it was quite interesting to do Witch Hats - I had to draw something "real", not something I typically do. The trees were easier! Using Leaf Stitch for a tree makes it quite simple and you know how much I like stars if you know me at all!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These will be released on September 26th - pick them up at your local needlework shop or <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/browse/11.html" target="_blank">here.</a> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both Holiday Delights finish at 6x6 and are stitched with Watercolours, Pearl Cotton, and Kreinik metallic. No laid threads!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I haven't blogged in months! It feels like only weeks as time flies so quickly. I've been traveling and teaching and generally, keeping too busy. I've created a new design to teach through Shining Needle Society. This is Amethyst Garden and finishes about 7.5x7.5. I put it into a Sudberry box - what an easy way to finish a piece of needlepoint. As much as I love my framer, it was nice to skip the trip for this time. It's also easy to take this piece out and pop in another, making it a great option to display a holiday design. I created some holiday colorways for just this purpose and will show them lower in this post.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Here are the colorways - it was so much fun creating them, I had to force myself to stop at 10! I love putting threads and colors together...the Petite Sparkle Rays and the threads under the Rainbow Gallery are for the Star design. Since the canvas peeks through under the star, all of the colorways will be on a color of canvas - French blue, Sandstone, Aquamarine, Yellow, Rose Blush, and Brown. Any of them could be done on eggshell as well.</span></div>

It's always fun to see everybody - it's like a family reunion! I love seeing all the new things, putting my hands on new threads, and most important, visiting with the shopowners who carry my designs. As a former shopowner, I know how hard they work at market - before, during, and after!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow's Heirlooms, the shop who offered my Elements patterns first, framed all of the Four Elements together in the same frame. They graciously offered to let me use it in in my display and gave me permission to share it - I love the way it came out!<br />

<br />
Now that market is finished, I'm doing the last of the mailing of my Mystery kits and preparing to teach several classes in person over the next couple of months as well as the online class. One of my goals this year is to update/revise my website. It is showing its age and needs some work. In the meantime, I am going to immediately change the way I send out my newsletters. To do so, I have to create a new mailing list so I'm requesting people send me an email to be added to this new list. I sent a newsletter from my website last night but never got confirmation it was sent so am writing here to let people know about it. Here's a link to the email I sent so you know how to sign up - <br />

I don't want to put my email address here - I already get WAY too much spam!<br />

As the deadline registration for Razzmatazz (my online Mystery class) quickly approaches, I'm starting the countdown to the Nashville market - it's only three weeks away and there's still so much to do. I've finished stitching Spring Meadow and am now working on writing the instructions - the fun is over. I loved creating this design; I started in the middle of the canvas with an interesting combination of plaited rays and worked my way out to the border. I took some of the threads from the Highland Meadow colorway of my Serenity design and this is what I came up with. Every time I taught Serenity last year and saw my student's pieces, I wanted to use these threads and colors! It finishes at 8x8 and the colors reminded me of a spring meadow - fresh and soft. I love lavender and teal and they look great together.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Registration is officially underway for my 2017 Mystery class. You can read all about it <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46618682/SNS%20Razzmatazz%20Mystery%202017.pdf" target="_blank">here.</a> There is a peek above and below. I really enjoyed creating this piece - I challenged myself in several ways to make it more interesting for me to design, stitch, and stay amused! I'm happy to report it is completely finished and I'm now working on something new to release at the Nashville market in March! </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Use a color of canvas other than white or eggshell</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Leave canvas threads empty to let the color show through</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Use a number of straight stitches (instead of diagonal)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Throw in a few beads</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Make a more symmetrical design than the last two Mystery projects (Starstruck & Curios) </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Here are the colorways I created - the original registration announcement only shows five options but I've done two more because the Prickly Pear and Kelsch colorways from Curios were requested. My original design is based on the Appalachia Watercolour and stitched on Leventeen Blue canvas. </span><br />

I'm looking forward to finished up the Mystery so I can work on something new. I did some personal stitching over the holidays - a Christmas stocking for my new great nephew and a Chicago Cubs ornament for my dad who is a lifelong diehard Cubs fan. He is always able to guess all his presents so it was wonderful to completely surprise him. I offered to hang it on my tree but he insisted on taking it home! It was great fun to have family here for the holiday - they're on the way home today so the cats are catching up on sleeping and I'm catching up with my blog and prepping for inventory - not my favorite job but at least it's only once a year. I hope to have a lot less kits to count after this week!</div>

I'm staying almost too busy these days but still trying to squeeze in some stitching & designing. I do have four new <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/browse/11.html" target="_blank">designs</a> which will be released next week. Shops may pre-order now or order through the online show from Norden which starts August 8th. If you don't have a LNS, you can get them <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/browse/11.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">First up are two of my four Elements - these were exclusive to Tomorrow's Heirlooms but now their Club is complete so I can release them to all. They finish at 5.25x5.25 and also look great if they are done as a four way design with this being one quarter. The first is Earth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The other two (Fire & Air) will be released in the Spring. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next is Turquoise Trail - I was inspired by one of the colorways in my Curios Mystery and designed this piece - it was really fun and I'm looking forward to maybe doing another southwest inspired design. This goes into my Destination Series and finishes about 6x10. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've been watching people post photos of pieces with all overdyed Vineyard Silks and was jealous of them using these luscious threads so I pulled mine out and created another "rainbow" of color. This is Color Delights - Rainbow 2! These are some of my favorite threads to work with and now I'm working on a larger piece with them for next year!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> When I taught it in person, several people asked me about doing dark
instead of light borders for some of the alternate colorways. It comletely changes the look and adds drama. There are dark borders for all of the colorways except the original. Here's the Melon colorway done with the dark borders.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Along with Boo Logs, I will be releasing a new <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/details/228/11.html" target="_blank">Color Delights</a>. I used Kelp Watercolours and Waterlilies both so am calling this one Kelp. The photo is a little crooked as part of the border got cut off when I edited it... This is the 45th in the Color Delights series. I never dreamed when this series started that I would do this many! Believe it or not, in the beginning it was a monthly club for one year. After a year though, there were still so many colors I wanted to do, it continued. I still really enjoy doing these small pieces and always have one going with me when I travel - they're a perfect little size to tuck in my carry-on! </span></div>

I've just sent the long awaited Boo (Halloween) Logs to the printer after taking the final stitches on Sunday. Shops can pre-order now or if you don't have a local shop, you can get it <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store/browse/11.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Like the other "Logs" designs, Boo Logs is worked entirely with Watercolours and two Kreinik #12 braids. I was so happy when Caron Collection introduced "Coal" with the last new Watercolours - it was the perfect border for this piece!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I took my niece up to North Carolina last week for a little vacation and for her to attend classes at the John Campbell Folk Art School. I have to admit I was a bit jealous dropping her off every morning for "camp" - she had a great time and made paper crafts, painted, sewed, blazed a trail, and more I can't even remember! We managed to sneak in some quilting - she's 8 and I taught her to use Grandma's iron & sewing machine. She picked out fabrics, I cut squares, and she sewed a quilt for her doll. She did a great job and loved it. I was so pleased she caught on quickly to using the machine and to placing the fabrics in the right places to have a balanced look. She may have the family sewing/needle genes and a natural eye for color and design. I knew she was on the right track when she said, "sewing is more fun than pressing"! I had a good giggle!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In other family news, I became a Great-Aunt last week! My nephew's wife had a baby, Robert Samuel on June 28th - he's my brother's first grandchild and my parent's first Great - it's a little surreal! New life really is amazing and we're so excited to welcome Samuel into the world. Unfortunately, I have to wait a few months to see him in person. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm looking forward to being at home for another month before teaching at the ANG Seminar in New Orleans at the end of August. I had a really busy spring/early summer with a lot of travel so am enjoying staying put for a bit! In addition to my many administrative duties, I'll be designing and stitching more than usual! I've got a couple of things going and a few others rattling around gathering creative juices. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hope you're all having a great summer!<br />Kathy</span>Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04671131197541915145noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494122171594757879.post-66098494035843070322016-05-03T14:31:00.000-07:002016-05-03T14:31:03.988-07:00Price Increases<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Almost all of the threads I use on a regular basis have increased in price in the last few months. I've absorbed several price increases over the past few <u>years</u>, but the time has come for me to give in and raise the prices on my kits. Depending on the threads in the kit and how long it has been on the market, price increases range from 5-15%. Here are some examples of the changes in price of a few of my popular kits - </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Amazing Color, $186, new price will be $191, Sale Price $167.40</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Autumn Logs, $95, new price will be $106, Sale Price $85.50</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Colorwaves, $177, new price will be $187, Sale Price $159.3</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Rainforest Crunch, $81, new price will be $90, Sale Price $72.9</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Summer Logs, $94, new price will be $110, Sale Price $84.60</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tidbits & Poppers, $95 ea, new price will be $98, Sale Price $85.50</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To
make it more palatable, I'm offering a limited time sale on CURRENT
prices until May 8th. To order, you will use the coupon code "NDO SALE"
on the <a href="http://www.needledelights.com/index.php/store.html" target="_blank">website</a>
when you check out. Pattern prices are not increasing but the sale is
for patterns as well as kits. 10% will be deducted when you enter the
coupon code. Everything is on sale, not just the kits listed above.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Price
increases will be in effect starting May 9th. I wish I didn't have to
do this - it's a lot of work to calculate and then update all the prices
on the website! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Coming
Soon: I'll soon be releasing (still have to write instructions!) "Land
of the Free" - shops will be notified when it is ready! It's part of my
Destinations collection.</span></span><br />
