Nameplates Discussion

How to see (or ignore) them, what they are, how to use them.

Companion Piece to Three Women and a Peach UPDATED


I've discovered from reading Judy Harper's blog that Squiggee has a new round Asian piece that is a companion piece to Three Women and a Peach. It is called "Nippon Textures." I assume it is also seven inches in diameter on 18 count canvas but it's not on the Squiggee website yet for me to check.

I love the way the clothing patterns move the eye around this piece. I understand that Anne Strahal will be blog-stitching this. I'll let you know when she starts it so you can watch it unfold as well.

UPDATE: Anne has started stitching! Here's the first posting about this piece on her blog, The Cape Stitcher.

Boxes for the New Year

Do you like boxes? How about this portable paper box for travel or as an inexpensive gift for a stitching friend? They have a new ort box/needlecase coming in January that isn't on the website yet.

Three Women and a Peach by Squiggee


It's done! YEAH!

Many thanks to Gail Hendrix and Dr. Janet Moyer for all their suggestions. Couldn't have done it without you.

Now, how do I finish it?
