Our Heros!

Orna Willis ran into the bane of teachers this week—supplies for her kits were lost in the mail! But the folks at Access Commodities, Caron, Edmar, Rainbow Gallery, ThreadworX and Wilchelt all came through by rushing replacements to her so her class would have what they needed.  You guys are The Best!  💙💚💛💜🖤

Tall Bird in a Masque?

Ruth Schmuff has revealed her Halloween mystery class for 2018—Zecca's mysterious "Tall Bird on a Rock."  Is the bird dressed for Halloween?  Is it a bank robber out on a spree?  Is it going to a Masquerade in Venice?  Only the stitcher knows!

Which Floor Stand is Right for You?

Which floor stand is right for you? Mary Corbet tackles this important question with information about quite a few brand names and often a link to her review of each.

For those interested, I have one of the K's Creations metal floor stands and I absolutely love it!

Why Fit In?

Ruth Schmuff has finished one of her Mystery with a Twist classes. Here is Zecca's Why Fit in and it's lovely!

Bedecked and Beadazzled offers Mystery with a Twists class periodically.  The lessons only arrive very slowly, to give folks plenty of time to stitch the project.  By slowly, I mean it can take over a year for the class to finish.

Hearts for Hospice

The Kansas City ANG chapter has a philanthropic project called Hearts for Hospice and are looking for stitchers to help.   This is how it works—

"The members of Greater Kansas City Needlepoint Guild initiated a project in 2015 to fulfill a need at a local hospice center. When a resident passes away, a heart is placed on the door which notifies those passing by to be respectful of others who are mourning the death of a loved one. The heart is then taken home by a family member as a remembrance of the care their loved one received while at the center."

Finishing is provided by the local chapter.   If you are interested, here's how you can contribute.
