Are you as entranced by finished NP pieces as I am?
Ruth at Becked and Beaddazzled has a new page full of finishing done through her shop. Choose a category and explore! There are custom boxes, fun little standup signs and lovely frames and purses, all finished in Ruth's cheerful and unusual style.

Speaking of finishing, you can see some finished pieces from Needle Works of Austin's customers on their blog. Some are made up and some have the stitching finished but the final touches not done yet. All are fascinating to see, especially for someone like me who rarely gets to see other stitchers' work except through the magic of the Internet.

On a slightly related topic, you can see finished models of the class projects Libby Sturdy is going to teach at Ruth's shop in late April. There is a teapot house (wonderful!) and two snowmen celebrating snow days (ditto). Libby works from line drawn canvases and her kits tell you exactly what to stitch where to have your version of her designs turn into something really great.

If you aren't familiar with Libby's designs, here is her website. Click on New Designs on the left side of the page for the latest fun if you are familiar with her work already. Otherwise, just click everywhere! LOL
