Thanks to the Stitching Sisters' blog I know there is a new shop in Philadelphia called Rittenhouse Needlepoint (only 6-7 hours away--can you say Road Trip?!). Denise and Linda were just there and had a great deal of fun.

Here is the shop's website. There are a ton of canvases and many books and tools to browse.

Rittenhouse also has started a blog. In it Stephen, the shop's co-owner, describes a problem with his lovely Susan Treglown koi piece. All the color changes and constant stopping/starting threads is hard for him to cope with. I posted an idea or two to the blog to help him. Head over, read about the shop and Stephen's koi canvas, and see if you can come up with more tips to help him cope.

I love hearing about new needlepoint stores. We can never have enough places to shop!
By the way, the canvas above is called Dinner at the Rittenhouse. The shop owners are the guys huddled there to the right of the potted plant, obviously worried that they are going to run out of champagne (not to mention thread) with all of us visiting the shop simultaneously. LOL
