Good morning, and a happy Monday all around!

This morning, just a quick announcement of the winner of the Hand & Lock embroidery class, from the generous class give-away offered by Hand & Lock here on Needle ‘n Thread, with a little more information about the classes available and the venue in Williamsburg.

Over on the new (just launched last week) Williamsburg School of Needlework website, you can read all about the embroidery classes offered there, including the Hand & Lock classes that are taking place in September, 2015.

Class Winner!

The Hand & Lock class winner was drawn randomly by number, using a random number generator.

And the winner was Robin M. This is her reply to the question “Which class appeals to you most and why?”:

All of these classes sound like a chance of a lifetime. I would choose the monogramming class, as I would very much enjoy learning the basics in the proper way from master teachers! And what a delight to have this in Williamsburg.

Congratulations, Robin! Please drop me a line with your contact information, and we’ll go from there!

Coming Up on Needle ‘n Thread

Lots of fun stuff going on in the background here in Kansas! I had a few more adventures (and a big failure) with fabric printing last week, I’ve set up the book cover project, and this week, I do believe my workroom is getting a big overhaul. What must be done, must be done! If the weather holds out, that’ll happen tomorrow. I’ll take some before and after photos – just keep your fingers crossed for me, that I actually arrive at “After”!!!

Other than that, the hummingbirds are moving along, the stitch sampler alphabet book is 26 more pages towards completion after this weekend, and – joy of joys – my taxes are done.

Tomorrow, I’ll share some newsy bits with you – several delectable things going on out there in the needlework world in the last week, along with a beautiful free project to download, a good cause, and some perfectly inspiring instruction! See you then!
