Claire and I are excited to announce the details of our next
This time around we've decided to have the same format but I will be designing a mini project as optional stitching. It's happening in Los Gatos (San Francisco Bay Area) on February 27th through March 1st, 2009, so be sure to view our Retreat Page for more details.
The first day of the Safari Pilot was Thursday and was a fun day in a beautiful setting. The second and final class is this Thursday so I've been busy doing minor revisions to the instruction book before shipping off the kits to my ghost pilot stitchers. I was very excited to finally receive a thread shipment I had been waiting on since September 17th...from England. We think the first package is still probably languishing in customs somewhere but Stef Francis was great and sent a replacement package and this one arrive in 8 days. This package included the very last thread needed to complete Safari! Whew!
I've still been stitching most evenings this week on Mediterranean Squares and plan to post an update in two or three days. It's been a real study of how colors advance and recede and how to use texture to create depth. More to follow.
Now I must return to marking canvases to ship. Wishing all a great rest of the weekend!
