Needlepoint Booties for a Christening

Moore Stitching is collaborating with Still Waters Needlepoint to offer these little bootie designs.  These are printed designs and more patterns are planned.  There are six pieces in each design to be assembled for display or to wear at the little one's christening.

The Self-Finishing Champagne Bucket

The Stitch Ladi offers two sizes of self-finishing wine coolers, which is unique and fun.  I don't know the size of canvas that will fit in each but it looks pretty flexible as to length.  Message the designer for sizing help.
