Friday I got an e-mail from Bonnie Dietering, the framer we HIGHLY recommend, saying that the Texas Wildflower Boot that Kathy Kulesza stitched was ready for pick up. I couldn't wait to see it, so yesterday I drove down to San Antonio to pick it up. I called Jane from Stitching up a Storm in San Antonio to see if she wanted to meet me there and I ended up going to her house first (it is absolutely beautiful by the way) and she drove me over since I really don't know S.A.
Anyway, the piece is amazing and Bonnie is so talented. San Antonio is VERY lucky.
I found a piece of barbed wire trim in Dallas not too long ago and took that to her and she painted it so it would look like it had a bit of patina to it. The mat has the texture of cowhide. Bonnie works at Art, inc. in San Antonio and if you want your needlework showcased she is your gal. You can contact her at: http://www.artincorporated.com/index.htm. She recently won an International award for her framing: http://www.pmai.org/content.aspx?id=10614
While in S.A. Jane took me to this wonderful Glass Gallery called Works of the Hand. It was really hard to resist. I know where I am going for Christmas shopping.

By the way, Kathy will be teaching the piece but not until next year, sorry. Too much on the schedule between the shop and Kathy traveling. We decided this would be a great Spring project, so it is scheduled for April 10 and 11, 2010 (Saturday and Sunday). You can call the shop to sign up!
