Bohin's Needle Puller 3 in 1

Bohin has a tool I've not seen before--the Needle Puller 3 in 1.  It pushes a needle through thick fabric or pulls it through and has a thread cutter built in.  You can see it in action here-

If this looks like something you can use, shop around.  Prices vary.

Melita Admits a Tool Caddy Addiction

Melita admits she has three tool caddies, one for each stitch location in her house.

She's getting rid of things she doesn't use, which is a good idea.

I have a tiny tool box with my favorite scissors and other small items and a small Stash N Store which was a gift from a friend.  I also have a needle case for the needles I am currently using.  In case you aren't familiar with the Stash N Store, this is what they look like.

Here is the lipstick case for my needles.  It's made by Dritz and called the Twist N Select.

Stitch Videos from The Stitch Method Needlepoint

The Stitch Method Needlepoint has started posting stitches on their YouTube channel to teach you how to work them.

https://www.youtube.com/@TSMNeedlepoint

Heidi's website also has links to the stitches but there some items are free and some are not.  Of course you will have fun looking at their canvases, whether you are in the mood to buy or not.  (The "Cathederals of the World" series is unique.)

The Royal School Restores Needlepoint

The Royal School of Embroidery not only stitches brand new pieces of needle art, they do restoration, such as fixing the burnt area on this needlepoint stool.

Instead of putting a patch behind the hole, they reweave the area, which is probably stronger in the long run for a family heirloom that is used.
