Front view of the hip belt from Colors of Praise…I received sooo many compliments today!

I think this belt would also look great with a pair of dark blue jeans and a little t-shirt and adorable flats!

Happy stitching,

Back from Market: Baltimore

Posted in featured artist, hand-painted canvas on 15.08.11

I drove up to Baltimore yesterday for a Cash & Carry market…I handed over the cash and the artists handed over the canvases! I got great canvases from Jean Smith…a symphony of florals. I’ve clipped them together so you can look through them like a mini trunk show…come by the shop! Or if you are far away, peruse her website to see her sophisticated take on flowers.

Lots of new pieces from Amanda Lawford too…this wonderful Santa (see above) has to be ordered but it is SPECTACULAR! Really a show stopper. I can’t wait for him to arrive. Absolutely stunning.

Terrific canvases from Sue of Cooper Oaks…as always.

Time for a new canvas? Yes! Happy shopping…Happy stitching,
Susan

Bridesmaids’ Gift

Posted in beyond pillows on 02.08.11

Super adorable customer Audrey Haydon stitched a Whimsy and Grace initial for each of her bridesmaids. Once she finished the stitching, we inserted each initial into a Lee’s Needle Arts leather luggage tag. What a wonderful and very personalized gift. PS I saw pictures from Audrey’s wedding and she looked STUNNING. We wish you a lifetime of happiness, my dear. And a lifetime of stitching too…doesn’t your new husband need a belt now??

Happy stitching,
Susan
