The Night Before

It has been a while since I have done any work on Anne Stradal's design called "The Night Before", but if I want to have it for Christmas I better get moving :-)

.

What I have done today is completing her dress and bonnet and make her nice and pretty by giving her a nice pearl necklace.

.

I have a little more work to do on this project before I can start thinking about the finishing, but at least I am slowly getting there :-)

.

By the way for those of you who have not yet seen it, Anne has just started a blog called "The Cape Stitcher".

.

Will probably be back sometimes tomorrow afternoon with another progress photo, if all goes according to plans (grinning).

Shining Needle Society

Yesterday I have received a Shining Needle Society Certificate of Completion for having stitched both Mystery in a Corner and Challenge Ornament, both designed by Gay Ann Rogers. I don't normally collect Certificates as I never send my pieces for evaluation with either ANG or EGA as I am always concerned that a project of mine on which I would have put lots of hours, efforts and money might get lost in the mail and I would end up with nothing, so I thought it was a wonderful idea to have come up with the idea of giving us a Certificate of Completion.

.
When I discovered Shining Needle Society a while back, I was so very happy as it opened the door to lots of new opportunities. There are multiple offerings of classes given by wonderful teachers/designers and of course there is Gay Ann's classroom who is dedicated to teach us about color and design. Before SNS, you had to be able to go to Seminars to get some of those classes, but now we can stay home and work on them in the comfort of our own home.
