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!

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

New website design

 I'm thrilled to announce and introduce my new website. It's been live for a week or so. You can find it at the old address of www.needledelights.com - 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. 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  here . 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! I'l

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!
