Needlepoint Canvas Painting Class
major moxie
Noodles & Co., I returned to the Scarlet Thread for my handpainting
canvas class.
Anna was a little bit disorganized at first, but this was due to have a
tremendous sale day at the store. She's extremely talented and charming
and the unorganized part was totally understandable. They apparently
underestimated the amount of business they would get. Which is great
news for any needlework store.
We all managed to jump right into the tracing the design on canvas
part. It was the initial applying paint that had us intimidated. But we
got over it. It's a beautiful peony design done in lavenders. The class
took longer than she anticipated, so we'll be going back to finish our
leaves and stems. I am amazed at how good this actually looks. And that
I did it myself!

That is so true - and the store is kind of a tight squeeze, so I imagine
when there were a lot of people there earlier it would be really hectic
feeling as well. Great description of Anna ;^)

That's great. I'm sure it's lovely - having seen the beautiful worked
pieces in Chez Donna, I'm betting that this canvas is just great. And
remember - the painting is a guide for your beautiful stitching - not the
other way 'round.
