Needlepoint Fairies and Other Fancies

I updated the CH Stitch Guides Blog yesterday with news about a new Sheena James stitch guide.  In case you haven't heard about the needlepoint fairy she stitched already, you can ride the magic carpet over to check it out by finding the photo of the magic carpet in the right hand column, then clicking on it.  Once you are ready to return here, click the magic carpet again (there's a photo in the same area on the CH Stitch Guides blog) and back you will ride.

Needlepoint is all about fantasy, isn't it?

Nimble Needle Classes Listed

Nimble Needle's blog has a listing of upcoming classes, all of which sound fabulous! I think it is particularly great that they aren't limiting classes to painted canvases.   Wonder how Beloved would feel about my moving Chilly Hollow to Jersey?

Needlepoint Here and There

Since Carolyn Hedge Baird started posting photographs of finished needlepoint in folks' homes, more and more folks have sent her photos of their stitching in its natural setting. She added a collection of photos of all sorts of stitching on her blog here.  The finishing is fabulous and the glimpses of how other stitchers display their needlepoint is inspiring.

This note seems a good place to mention Ada's stitched models for her EyeCandy line of canvases.  They are displayed all over her house until they are needed at a trade show.  Here are the Halloween-themed canvases, just in case you are in the mood to stitch something seasonal.
