Happy Valentine's Day!!
We are having a snow storm. At the moment (8:40am) it's blizzard conditions! Let's hope you got your Valentine's Day 'stuff' ready yesterday! I wonder if anyone received one of my heart shaped Fibre Art Pendants?
Enjoy the day wherever you are.

Snowlady With Birds
Here's another hand embroidery finish to add to the collection. It will eventually be a small quilted wall hanging. This time the carrot nose is orange, the holly berries are red and the snowflakes are silver. I'm calling it 'Red Work' with colour. If "Whitework with Colour' is accepted than so can this.
By they way, have you heard about Trish Burr's newest embroidery book, Whitework with Colour?
Mary Corbet has a fantastic review of this book on her blog. See it HERE. PS: I broke down and pre-ordered it!
Enjoy!!

Colour Confidence in Embroidery
Colour Confidence in Embroidery by Trish Burr is a must have for any serious embroiderer. The following description was taken from Traditional Stitches:
Based on her own experience with long and short stitch shading (needle painting/thread painting), gained through trial and error over the years, Trish Burr provides a greater awareness of how color affects our embroidery and what brings it to life. Each aspect is clearly illustrated by example and includes tools for selecting colors, choosing shades that enhance our embroidery, why some shades blend better than others, and the importance of contrast with light and shadow. There are projects to represent each color group including stunning roses, camellias, fruit and the birds. However, the highlights of the book have to be the chapters on color combinations and complementary colors. There are more than 200 stitched examples with DMC thread keys.
I knew I couldn't say it any better.
Here's a few sites which mention Needle Painting:
