Hey Blog Buddies,
How is your May going? I hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed the spring weather. Or the fall weather, if you're farther south!
I attended a workshop on Saturday hosted by my EGA chapter and taught by Nancy Buhl, who designs canvaswork pieces under the name From Nancy's Needle. She is a wonderful teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.

I attended a workshop on Saturday hosted by my EGA chapter and taught by Nancy Buhl, who designs canvaswork pieces under the name From Nancy's Needle. She is a wonderful teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.
The piece in the photo above was taught, called Flowers from my Needle.
I chose a slightly more autumnal colorway.
There was a very nice turnout--we had over 40 stitchers.
There were over 40 fabulous gift baskets, too.
In addition, everyone got a door prize.
Here is where I'm at with my piece.
It is a simple, small piece that I don't have to think about very much.
There are no laid threads. I love it!
I wouldn't have needed to go to a workshop to figure this piece out,
but don't tell anyone.
I would love to just keep on working on this piece until it's finished,
but sadly it will have to join a throng of other pieces
on "the back burner."
The pile on that burner is getting dangerously high.
For the past few days, I've been working on
(gasp!)
a cross stitch piece.
It's one of the Prairie Schooler Christmas Strawberries.
I hope to get this one finished today
so that I can get all three of my stitched strawberry pieces
to the finisher, who I hope to see this evening.
I'd better get cracking.
That's it for now.
Thanks for visiting!

Looks like it was a fun workshop. Love the purple flowers design you are working on. The colours are sublime! Good luck on finishing the PS strawberries!!
What a lot of ladies have fun stitching away.
What a pretty piece that will be with the colors you've chosen. So glad the class was a success :)
I'm sure the strawberry finishing will go well--I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Your needlework piece is looking lovely! Good work!
