Ok - designers you admire

Currently high on my list:
Ink Circles:
Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks

Some stuff from Country Garden Stitchery, but by no means all of it.
Who Knew? Has several pieces I covet. If I ever manage to find steady part
time work, I'm kitting up several of them. And I don't generally do
"fantasy"

I have many of Ladybug Lanes charts.
Lots of Elizabeth's Designs, but I really prefer her older pieces
Ditto for Birds of Feather, but every so often one of her new pieces catch
my eye
Liberty Street.

I do lots of flowers and bugs, whimsical and realistic.

I am currently really drawn to geometrical designs or "knot work" pieces.

BOAF no longer does XS, only needlepoint, I understand. I love their
stuff though!

As you all know. XS isn't always highest on my list of things to do.
And I have been doing a lot of canvas work. I really like a lot of
Laura Perin's stuff. Nancy Coffelt is fun and whimsical (plus she has
lots of penguins :))

Urban Threads has some really edgy stuff. They also have a "Mr."
series that I want to do as a baby quilt one day. You can get their
stuff as hand stitching or machine embroidery.

Tam's Creations has some nice blackwork.

If I feel kitschy, I like some of the Cranberry Cove Christmas stuff.

JoAnn's has an all-over penguin fabric that's pretty nice. I just
checked their site and it's on sale right now!

Mandy picked this out for one of the scrub tops I'm making her.
