Exploring the Counted-Canvas World of Kathy Rees


Listen Later

Liberty is the 2026 Mystery design from Kathy Rees, available at the Shining Needle Society.Colorwaves design by Kathy Rees.Counted-canvas needlepoint is this week’s technique and we got to talk about it with Kathy Rees, one of the best designers in that world. Kathy earned a business degree, got tired of the corporate world, worked with her parents in their needlework shop, then owned her own shop. When that era came to an end, she committed herself to full-time designing and teaching. One of her signature series is annual mystery projects. She just announced her latest mystery, Liberty, through the Shining Needle Society. Registration is open for that class which offers four color ways. Deadline for registering is Feb. 16, so act quickly. Kathy is also planning a stitching cruise with Toni Gerdes. That nine-night Caribbean Cruise sails in April 2027. We learned a lot talking with Kathy and encourage you to visit her website and explore her catalog of terrific designs.—Cindy and Gary
