The New Ehrman

Ehrman Tapestry, famous for thirty years as the height of British tapestry design, has revamped their website.  The home page has a short video about design by Kaffe Fassett, their most famous designer (and my personal hero).  You can even download their most recent catalogue from there!

Of course if you are less interested in browsing and more interested in the sales, here is their summer sale page.

Not everyone wants to embellish painted canvases.  A good many of us want a well designed wool pillow that will make our homes a bit more beautiful and cozy.  Ehrman caters to this subset of needlepointers and has done very well for themselves by doing so.

Featured

While I wasn't paying attention, TNNA's needlepoint website has posted quite a few Artist and Shop profiles.  These are great fun to read on a slow news morning, so bookmark them so you can visit occasionally and get to know the designers and shops who make our needlepoint such fun.  This is the latest Featured Artist profile.  Older ones are listed at the bottom of the page.

Here is the last Featured Shop.  Again, older profiles are listed at the bottom of the page.
