Photos of Fancy Work Designs

I'm going to try something new. I've let my website lapse, so I'm transferring photos of my commercial, magazine and teaching designs to the blog. If this doesn't work, I may try setting up a Fancy Work facebook page.

Additional Box Designs for Upcoming Finishing classes

These images are additional choices to the "State Pride" artwork series previous posted to my blog. You may choose any of these general patriotic images for your box. If no selection is made, your box will have the United States of America with Washington & Lincoln which is pictured in the center of the bottom row.

Box artwork for Houston and Metropolitan Region

I'm posting the state art designs that are available for the boxes to be lined in my upcoming classes in Houston TX in March and at the Metropolitan Region Seminar in April. Students should view the box designs and make their selections. Each class will notify me in a different way, so just follow instructions in the email. Let me know if you need additional information.

2010 - 2011 Teaching Schedule

I know it's been over a year since I posted on my blog. I have no excuses. Just returned from teaching the final Madeira class in Dallas, Texas. That project will be published for the retail market in February 2010.



I have the following dates on my teaching schedule so far:

March 6 & 7, 2010 "The Finer Points of Finishing Notebook: The Basics" for the Houston Embroiderer's Guild Satellite.

April 9 - 11, 2010 "More Finer Points of Finishing: Primitive Patriotic Sewing Set" for Salty Yarns in Ocean City, MD

March 8-9, 2011 "The Little Sewing Box" for Dallas Textile and Needlearts Guild in Dallas, TX

April 8-10, 2011 "More Finer Points of Finishing: Primitive Patriotic Sewing Set" for Metropolitan Region EGA Seminar in New Jersey



I am reworking the Finer Point of Finishing Notebook to offer the complete technique notebook (formerly Parts I and II) as the first class called "The Basics". The class will continue to feature the basic techniques and materials covered in the original Part I, but will include the text for Part II. All future Finishing Notebook classes will be "More Finer Points of Finishing: ?????" with whichever set project the group chooses (sets will be customized for the booking group).



Please contact me via email for full class descriptions, options and photos. Hope to update the blog with photos soon.
