THE NASHVILLE SHOW

It's good to be home even though I was greeted with 16 inches of new snow! Bonnie, dear friend who comes with me to all my shows, helps me set up, and adds her creative touch to the room took these great photos. I'd like to thank all the shops who are supportive of me and my punchneedle designs. March classes begin at The Cooperage studio on March 12th. Call me at 262.313.8885 for more info. Keep on stitchin!

NEW DESIGNS FOR NASHVILLE

It's been a little crazy at the studio wth lpunch and lunch classes, valentine's day, getting ready for the TNNA show in Nashville this weekend. Above are three of my new punchneedle patterns. Pink Heart Headband and Strawberrie Headband are easy to stitch up. A plain plastic headband form (included with the pattern) makes finising a breeze. Carrots are like potato chips "you can't have just one". So make a bunch of my What's Up Doc" carrot pins. It's the latest in the Woolies Collection! Keep on Stitchin.

WE PUNCHED, WE LUNCHED AND WE ...

Saturday's punchneedle class had a great view of the bed races on the creek. The races are part of The Winter Fest going on this weekend in Cedarburg. There are ice sculptures in front of the downtown businesses, a chili contest at the Community Center, and hot mulled wine at The Winery. Oh where is Norman Rockwell when you need him? Keep on stitchin!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

This cat entered my life stitchery life in November as a punch needle pattern called "Who Let The Cat Out". He reappeared in December "Believe". Now here he comes again "Love Is In The Air"! I've decided it's time to name this feline. Morris comes to mind, that delightful cat called to dinner by the sultry voice of Dorothy Jordan. So Morris it is! I suspect he's dreaming of baskets filled with colored Easter eggs! Keep on stitchin.
