Charting a Mystery, Melissa Shirley, and Threads

Ruth Schmuff's Harvest Mystery

Thistle Needleworks is having a Melissa Shirley trunk show for two weeks.  You can see the canvases in the show (on sale at 20% off the normal price) on their online store here, or if you are in Connecticut, check out directions to the shop on the shop website (second link below).

ThreadworX is looking for photos of pieces stitched with their threads.  Want to be in their winter Journal issue?  Details here.

My final tidbit of news is that Ruth Schmuff has charted her last mystery class so that fans of charted work can stitch it on plain instead of painted canvases.   The photo above is the pink-orange-brown original version of Harvest Mystery. Her blog shows what a little blue can do!  Ruth says she plans to offer charted versions of several of the canvases in her line now, so if you love counted canvaswork, keep an eye on Ruth's blog.

Hi Chilly Hollow! Carolyn Baird here and thank you for mentioning my book on your blog. It is a stitches book with over 500 stitches with lots of ideas and tips about needlepoint. It is 330 pages long. I have had lots of positive comments about it! Please purchase my book-I think painted canvas needlepointers will really enjoy it!
