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.

The Thread Estimator, Coming Soon

Heather.Rae.Atelier will have The Thread Estimator out soon.  I'm assuming this is an app but I don't know which flavor phone it will work on or any of the details.  It assumes you are using tent stitches or mosaic, so it has limitations.
