I had a great week with Cynthia Thomas at the ANG Seminar in Anaheim! On Monday, I learned how to diagram stitches (including a needle) using Microsoft Office tools. It’s amazing how much we learned and her excellent instructions will be a great guide when I get home. And, I was able to practice some diagrams even during my 4-day embellishment class. I love the stitches Cynthia recommended for my JP canvases. We learned a lot from listening to discussions about each other’s pieces too. Contact Cynthia for a list of her commercial stitch guides and classes (including her computer class) at needleartisan@hotmail.com (email address shared with Cynthia’s permission).

I practiced layering beads on top of beads.

And, padding with felt and Very Velvet.
