Judy made this pillow awhile ago and had displayed it in the shop attracting many people to stitch it.  Look closely at the fabric she chose to complete the finishing.

The Trunk show has arrived.  Please stop in the shop to see all Kirk & Hamilton canvases that have arrived from England.  If you are unable to come in, check out their website for more canvases.  I will share with you some of the fun and sophisticated examples.  All Trunk Show canvases that are ordered will be 20% off and if you bring back a completed Kirk & Hamilton canvas by May 16th (my daughter's birthday) you will receive 20% off finishing as well.  These will not be considered part of Resolution Stitching, which makes this an added bonus!  So take advantage of this offer and treat yourself to something happy or elegant.  Vanessa
