I like to bookmark wonderful stitching for inspiration later. I thought you'd like to see some fabulous stitching that is full of ideas if you have a similar item in your To Do pile of needlepoint canvases. Do you have buildings or straw on a canvas? Then you must look at Amy Bunger's Nativity stable in the June newsletter from her shop. It is an amazing piece of work. (The whole newsletter is fun and includes photos of many of the styles of the new Sundance sequins but not the black ones. Trust me, the black ones are FABULOUS-O! You know, those purple ones look pretty durn good, too....) The newsletter also shows the brand new Fairy Tale Witch series from Melissa Shirley which Amy has promised to write stitch guides for.

Peggi's stitching a Day of the Dead character that she took to a Tony Minieri embellishment class. You may not have a skeleton in your stitching future but you've got to see this hat!

Do you need a large heart on your canvas? ANG's Stitch of the Month released today is a Fleur De Lis heart that is beautifully charted. (This is for my counted canvaswork friends who must be bored silly by all this talk of painted canvases.)

Want to see a spectacular glitzy canvas mixed with a light coverage background? MaryLu Leger is teaching this in a class. Man, wish I was there to see it in person as this is the most beautiful interpretation of Klimt on NP canvas I've ever seen.
