Here's a few more photos from Monday's class. I always love to see what people are working on, & the ideas Tony has come up with for bringing those canvases to life. We had a nice mix of students in this class, & some really nice canvases. Our new friend Chris was working on this top canvas, the vase, & mastered a number of new techniques in a few days. The second canvas, called (I think) Kitchen Ballet, is just too much fun, AND it has a cornice that goes over it that's a separate piece. Oh. That one seems quite interesting to me.....
Tony's intensely working on this Moose canvas, & calling for a needle, I think, in the 3rd photo. My daughter, a LaSalle alum, loved the 4th canvas, of the Philadelphia Boathouses.
The last photo has nothing to do with the Minieri class, but was last night's completion, the little Melissa Shirley that will be made into a music box. I haven't worked on a Melissa Shirley canvas in a while; this one had a lot of detail & packed a lot of punch into a small space. I think my niece will love it.
I am bracing myself for Linda's absence for 4 days while she is at Bedecked. There will be whining on my part.

I'll join you in the whining. She'd better have FUN.
What designer is the boathouse canvas?
Hmmm, I am not sure. I would suggest you call Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont, which is where this wonderful class was held, & I am sure they can tell you. Their number is 914-834-1886, ask for Madalena or Betty.

to answer the question of what designer is the boathouse? it is by Needle Crosssings
I love your Christmas house!
I hesitate to ask the following question because I'm afraid of violating protocol, but I won't know unless I ask, will I, so here goes:
What thread and stitch did you use on your tree?
I'm stitching a line drawn tree, and nothing I've tried is
exciting me....
The tree is done in a long satin stitch, using Fuzzy Stuff. Basically I stitch to the center of the tree, long stitches from the bottom upwards, adjusting them shorter as I get to the top of the tree. I hope that helps! Denise
