Want LEDs With That Needlepoint?

If you are interested in adding LED lights to your needlepoint, either in the finishing or to light up part of the design itself, this is the place for supplies and tutorials on how these gadgets work in sewing.  Many thanks to Dorothy H. for mentioning this on Facebook's Needlepoint Nation!

Oh, they carry the components and a tutorial for a wifi controlled laser cat toy called Raspberry Pi.  Just saying.

Designers Who Stitch

There are more painted canvas designers than you'd think who actually stitch, too. SharonG is a great example and so is Melissa Shirley. There are many more but I didn't know Lynda Richadson of Dream House Ventures is one of them.   If you click on one of the photos you can see the details of Lynda's stitching including the "butterfly" stitching.  The AB beads in the border have an Aurora Borealis iridescent finish, by the way.  Wish we could see this in person!
