Welcome to Day 10 of the Minnesota Designer’s Blog Hop. I’m so glad you stopped by to join the fun. I’m Shelly Stokes, and I’m the owner of Cedar Canyon Textiles. Most people know me as the “paintstik lady.” I discovered this wonderful paint product about 10 years ago in a book from the UK. […]
Top Tips for Better Rubbings
Hey folks! This is the week for the big Minnesota Designer’s Blog Hop! (You can read all about it by clicking on the logo over on the right hand side of your screen.) I’m on my way out of town for the big Bernina University event in San Francisco, so my turn on isn’t until […]
Quilt it – then Paint it!
Sue Kelly joined me for the trek to Cleveland to film a couple of segments for Quilting Arts TV at the end of February. We traveled on one of those winter days when we really would have been much better off snuggled up in front of a fire at home. The weather was miserable, the […]

Paintstik Patina

New Mini Medleys
I just love having new products to announce! Our paintstik minis have been so popular that I worked with my paint company to put two special assortments together for you! It always seems like forever when I’m waiting for new products to come in the door, but I’ve been told that these are truly “on […]
