Sometimes it is just too Much!


In 2000 a wholesale line was launched ( top photo). My designs for this new company conisited of 75 pieces. This seemed like at lot of designs presented at one time by one artist. The designs were marketed for wholesale to the trade at the annual TNNA show in January in California each year. The company was called The Point Of It All Designs, and signed by Gail, later to be signed by Gail Hendrix. This was a new field for me and exciting to present designs on a different venue.
My company called festival Designs by Gail , had been designing all the custom work for the DC needlepoint shop The Point Of It All, and also Festival Designs had a line of canvases that had only been sold at the shop. Many of the most popular designs I added to the line, and started to design and paint furiosly non stop for months before our first show. When I saw the pictures from the first show it seemed overwelming as I had painted thousands of canvases over the years but never seen more than a shop wall filled with just my designs.

WOW! I wish we could flip through them all. It's amazing when you see a small part of the body of your work, Gail. No wonder you keep posting new photos of your designs for us to admire. Very prolific!
