Santa’s in Hawai’i
Santa has made his way to Hawai’i. This great Meredith Collection ornament shows Santa shining brightly in the middle of the Pacific. Got the sparkle threads and now to decide on the stitches that I want to use. Enjoy!

Bird of Paradise Background
Great swirls of dark green are behind the beautiful flowers. Finally settled an open pattern to let them show through. Great stitch — lots of counting!

Bird of Paradise
My favorite flower is the Bird of Paradise. Georg created a beautiful canvas that I have been thinking about for awhile. Thanks to Jean Hilton’s Border Book, I found some beautiful borders that I could combine for the frame of this canvas. Take a look and enjoy!

To continue with Tuesday’s posting:
The retreat with Meredith will provide the opportunity for each participant to choose their own canvas. The seahorse pillow is the one I will be working on. Looking at those who have signed up — I can see flowers, oriental scenes, tropical scenes and, oh so, many other choices. This will be a perfect opportunity to learn different methods — even if they are not on your specific canvas choice. There will be a lot of demonstrations of the different stitches.
We will be stitching at a wonderful (almost) 100 year home in one of the older neighborhoods on island. We will be right on the front porch overlooking the front yard and little stream that runs down the front of the home. It is such a serene peaceful spot to be.

TNNA Market is done. I sat glued to my computer watching the posts from those who were able to make it this year. Still a lot of information to find out and then the decisions.
I have great news!! Meredith Willet has agreed to teach at my retreat this year. It is scheduled for Columbus Day Weekend — that’s October 10, 11 and 12. Three glorious days to stitch with Meredith guiding us through the different canvases that are chosen. Call or email me at needlepoint at needlepointetc dot com for information. I have already started a waiting list but you never know.
I have been narrowing down my choices — finally decided on Dede’s Seahorse Pillow.
