New releases...

 I've finished Calypso Squares! It's the latest in my Edibles collection and will include a recipe for Calypso Cookies. It's at the printer and will be sent to the auto shops June 1st. If you're a shop not on my auto, you can sign up anytime! I used 18 different bright Watercolours and five of Kreinik's holographic braids. I wish the metallics showed up better in the photographs but trust me when I tell you they *SPARKLE*!
 
 
I'll also be releasing a new Color Delights - Olive. One of my early Color Delights was supposed to Olive but turned out to be Camouflage because of the overdye I chose. Even though it didn't turn out the way I was thinking, it was one of those "happy accidents" where the result was a good one!

 
 
I'm working on fun stuff for the fall now in anticipation of teaching out in California at Needle in a Haystack. I can't wait to visit Cathe's shop and wander through all the threads. I've never been there in person but have seen pictures and know she has LOTS of threads.
 
On the quilting side I've finished a few more of my applique blocks and just wish I had more time to devote to them. Here are two of my recent finishes...
 
 
and the latest photo of my stitching companions...they draped themselves around the lamp last night!

Autumn Logs pillow

Just a quick post to show my finished Autumn Logs made into a pillow. The center looks washed out in the photo but I can't take another because I sent the pillow up to Fireside Stitchery - they're having a Needle Delights Originals trunk show right now and have over a dozen of my pieces - check them out if you're in the northeast! http://www.firesidestitchery.com/     Today is the first day of my online class "Inchies" - here's the Confetti colorway - one of my students already finished it and sent a photo!     I'm working on something new and will show you a peek soon!

More Serenity and something new...

I'm so pleased to show you photos of some of my students' work! They've had such fun stitching Serenity and several have completed it. It's such fun to see the different colorways come to life! First up is Pam B's - it's called "Flowers of Italy". She was clever and added her initials to the piece - can you find them?!   Next is Highland Garden - it was one of the most popular colorways!   And here's Arnhem Heath, the ever popular purple and green!  I'll be teaching this project at Needle in a Haystack in Alameda, CA next month - if you're wanting some Serenity, come join us. You can see all the info here. Kathy

In full swing...

I've been getting ready for my big summer trip - I'm heading to the midwest next month. First I'll be attending the TNNA Needlework tradeshow in St Charles, Missouri and then am heading to Chicago for the ANG National Seminar. I'm taking a class with Orna Willis and looking forward to being with someone who has great color sense! I'll also be participating at Expo Night. I'm looking for a couple of people who have experience in such events who would be willing to help me - contact me privately if you are interested.  Before I go to Seminar, I'll be teaching August 22-23 at Tomorrow's Heirlooms. You can get more details on their Facebook page here . I'm really having fun working on the piece and wish I could show you part of it but alas, it's a Mystery! I haven't done a Mystery class for the last two years and I'm happy to be designing another - I look forward to being able to share it and eventually publish it. I will be releasing six
