More Summer Fun Canvases

Old School gamers will laugh with delight at the needlepointed plastic canvas Space Invaders magnet set. This would be a fun and simple project for a large group of kids (although there would be squabbling over whose house it got to live in next week). Check the links for smaller video game project ideas. The pixel art of these 1980s games transfer well to the grid of needlepoint canvas.

Barbi let slip in an email conversation that her newest designs, a set of twelve heart pattern canvases called Postcards from the Heart, are available at Quail Run. These little canvases come with a stitch guide and are perfect beach stitching! They'll look pretty durn cute framed, too.

Quail Run has a great looking series of classes this summer, too. That's an idea! If you aren't going on vacation this year, treat yourself to a mini-vacation at your local shop!
