The Stitchers’ Voice - The TSV Community Newsletter
I was looking for a picture that I took and found the lizard photo above. It looks like a Halloween lizard
to me. It was apparently trying to blend in with a patio chair downstairs from my daughter’s apartment
when we were in Florida. Having extra space in my header - the second photo is a dramatic, beautiful
sunrise taken from the balcony of our hotel room one morning. That is the kind of thing makes me very
happy that I am an early riser!
One of our long-term supporting shops has a new web site debuting this week. Marilyn, of Picture This
Plus, will only have fabric on the site at first, but changes have been made to improve the order process.
Visit picturethisplus.com to see the new site. One month from now, I will accompany Marilyn to the
wholesale market in Nashville. I staff the booth and run the cash register for her during the show. I will
also be teaching a class on the Collective Stitch cross stitch events. I have the deadline for the submis-
sion of charts so that shops learning about the event in Nashville will have time to register and partici-
pate. We have a few new shops already, and I am hopeful that more will register. Be sure to talk to your
favorite brick and mortar shop and invite them to be a part of this shop/designer promotional event.
Happy Stitching! Patty

February Heart Contest
Here is the chart for a heart contest. You choose fabric, thread, and design. Stitch any way you like and submit a picture image file to [email protected] by February 20, 2017 For a change, I am showing 2 quick examples to get your ideas flowing. These are not finished projects - I mainly wanted to show that you do not have to solid stitch the chart, but can do any stitches, etc. I was having fun seeing how the Threadworx #10372 thread stitched up in some Rhodes variations!! A random drawing from entries will be held to win “Hilltop House” and “Quilt Cabin” the two designs included in kit #5 of the Christmas Village Ornament Kits from Legacy Patterns which include an 1/8 cut of fabric from Picture This Plus and backing fabric from the Legacy quilt fabric line to finish both!
