Brenda Stofft Designs

Brenda Stofft has a brand new website at a new address.  It's not completely finished yet (she's still working at getting it up to date) but she is also putting her designs on her Facebook page.  If you have a FB account, you can check there also.  Just search for Brenda Stofft Designs there.

Bookmark her site as Google can't find it yet.  That takes a while.

By the way, you can see some of Brenda's new Halloween pieces plus some Melissa Shirley classics on The Nimble Needle's site.

Do you like candy apples?  No?  I think you'll make an exception for this one!

Summer isn't finished stitching her Royal Santa (Amanda Lawford) but she has finished some important sections.  Lovely!

Linda isn't finished with her And More sayings piece, either, but she's chosen a very clever way of embellishing it that I had to share.

Ever wonder how one of those big canvases is built?  A little at a time!

Suddenly I Am Hungry

Mer discovered this wonderful photograph of finished Needle Deeva Halloween cupcakes.  They all come with a stitch guide from the incomparable Cynthia Thomas, too!

If you go to the Needle Deeva model photo page, you can see each individual cupcake.

A Rant

What the writer said had me applauding.  She is an expert in historial and ecclesiastical embroidery but what she says certainly applies to all sort of handwork.
