It's all over the Needlepoint Internet World this morning that Theresa Lee is closing her business. Goodbye to all those gorgeous kimonos, the floral and Asian designs, the fantastic leather goods, and much, much more! Of course everybody should get to retire and we wish the Lee family a wonderful fun retirement and excellent health while we scramble to pick up those items we always thought we'd get Next Year.The piece above is the Lee one that tempts me recently. Sadly, I can't afford it right now. I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep saving my pennies.
Ruth Schmuff has posted some wonderful photos of things that caught her eye on her blog. Note what she says about Derek Lawford's new line....

Homestead Needle Arts has some new photos, too.

The Busy Needle posted photos of the new things they ordered at the Dallas trade show in April. Since many of these things are just now showing up in the shops, here is what they saw. I'm told Leigh is showing smaller ornament-sized versions of the new Guadalajara line at this trade show, for example.

Amy Bunger and her staff are still tweeting occasionally. Am I the only one that wishes there was a photo version of Twitter?

Thanks for the good info. And I love your new header! Wonderful negative space the top.
Glad you like it, Liz. There's so much green all around me, I had to share, even though as a NP blog, I prefer a NP theme header.
Wow! Lots of goodies heading our way! I am sure there will be tons of new pictures soon!
Actually there a Twitter for pictures. It's called TwitPic. You can see it at twitpic.com
Thanks, Margaret! I will have to check TwitPic out. I love pictures!
Hi Jane - any newer news on Lee?
Not that I have heard. Negotiations are ongoing I understand to buy the business but I don't know who is bidding. There were 3-4 serious contenders but I do not know who or which has the best shot.
