Southwest Sampler by Margaret Bending in Needlepoint Now
I was so excited when I received the January issue of Needlepoint Now yesterday. On the cover was Margaret Bendig's "Southwest Sampler", Margaret taught this to the Wine Country ANG Chapter in July of 2006.
I really enjoyed this piece and my first class from Margaret. I only made two adjustments - I was unable to get the technique down for the Ceylon stitch used on the Cactus so I used the Double Cross Stitch which was the same stitch used on the Cactus for the Name Tags at Seminar in Tucson. Then for the outer border I used Turquoise Beads, in the center.
The picture has gone back to the framers though because the Mat is not right.
I am now working on Margaret's "Summertime" in the Geranium color way.
Don't miss out on taking a class from Margaret she is a wonderful person.
