We just got back from the EGA South Central Region mid-Year meeting in Dallas. Had a great time and saw many of you there. It’s always so much fun to catch up and to see people who love what you love, even if it’s only a couple of times a year.

Just before we left for the meeting a new customer came into the shop, a young mom, new to our community who loves to stitch! She was on a mission to create a gift for a special little guy and knew exactly what she wanted to accomplish, just wanted some ideas on how to go about it. Don’t you know I was delighted to work with her!

Here are a couple of photos of the completed projects she brought in the day after she was in for materials. She drew the cute sea creatures, embroidered them on muslin and using Blanket Stitch, appliqued them to the hoodie towels she had purchased at WalMart. Not only is her drawing and stitching incredible but her imagination and creativity left me in awe. How wonderful to know that young stitchers are coming up and will exhibit this kind of talent.

The model is her adorable young son who totally enjoyed the picture taking.

Aren't the octopus and whale cute?

 

Of course not as cute as this little guy!
