Counted Canvaswork Shops

(If you have a favorite source not on the list, add a comment or email me at chillyhollow at hot mail dot com so I keep things up to date.) Here is what Blog readers said, in alpha order by state--
By the way, here's the link to the Best Needlepoint Shops 2014 article.  All shops here are either my personal favorites or were nominated by many of Blog's readers.

Thistle Needleworks/Alex Paras has a brand new club for 2014:  Finger Step Designs' All that Jazz.   These are tiny geometric patterns, a cross between stained glass and abstract art.  Use up leftover threads and create a ton of small, fast ornaments, box tops or assemble it all into an amazing pillow at the end of 2014.    This shop is one of the very few that offers monthly clubs for the counted canvaswork enthusiast.
