If you are a book collector or just want to read brief descriptions of the newest (and a few older) needlepoint books, visit Quail Run's blog for cover photos and a bit about the books they have in stock.

New Kits from Needlepoint.com

Needlepoint.com has updated their website page for the kits they offer.  The shop is in Raleigh, NC which is only 4-5 hours from the North Carolina beaches, so there are lots of wonderful summery designs available.  Lots of their kits are on larger 10 or 12 count and come with wool.  These are meant to be tent stitched.  However, not everything is a throwback design.  They also offer canvases with stitch guides and plenty of fancy threads and stitches.  Your choice!

The above link has changed.  Thanks for letting me know, Jen!

Pick whatever seems perfect for your summer vacation and everything will arrive, ready to start stitching without delay.
