One of the best places to get some colorful and interesting reference photos is at Farmer’s Markets. Sunday I rode over to Little Washington with my friend Sandra. We wanted to check out their market and even though it was drizzling rain we found some nice things (bread, baskets, and tea) as well as got a few nice shots for future paintings.

I finished my project using the Butterfly Stitch. It worked up quickly and looks nice. I like trying different stitches to see what effects we can get. This one will work well for scarves, shawls, blankets, etc. You can find an easy to follow pattern here.

Sometimes you find art in the most unusual places. Yesterday morning while walking my boys we saw this down the street at a neighbors house. They have lots of kids so I don’t know which ones did it but I love it!

I had a chance to experiment with a couple of new stitches. This is the Butterfly Stitch using Caron Cakes (that I love). The self striping yarn is so much fun and so easy to work with because you don’t have to change yarn over and over again to get a beautiful look. It does the work for you! Don’t you LOVE it?!

We believe everyone can paint….all that is necessary is the desire to do it! We get new students in at The Studio all the time wanting to give it a go. We love that! Everyone who has ever wanted to paint should try. Here’s Kitty and Mary, two of our newest students. Look at the super job they did on their first paintings. Nice work! If you have ever wanted to try painting check out our classes here.

We had the second part of our Quilted Table Runner class last night. They are looking great! Everyone promised to send a photo of their finished products. (They took them home for binding.) I can’t wait to see them but you can get a good idea here with Amber’s. It looks beautiful and we all had a really good time working together. Great work ladies!
