Yesterday I added a new article to the Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides blog--an article about stitch guides and how they have evolved written by Barbara Elmore. I also updated the article on Brenda Hart's stitch guides with a new link to photos of more canvases she has written help about. Here's the link to Barbara's article. You can find the updated Brenda Hart one by using the search box at the upper left hand corner of the blog.

I have wonderful things for needlepoint fanatics this morning. First of all, check out the amazing Japanese Embroidery pieces Jane photographed at the class she just took in the UK.

Do you like a more primitive and colorful style for your stitching? Zecca has some wonderful canvases for you. (Hint: look for these on eBay.)

If you are a fan of SharonG's Italian landscapes, you'll want to see how Denise has her latest piece framed. Lovely!

I always found armadillos interesting creatures but I never realized they make great frame weights until I saw what Gail Hendrix did with one in this new design for her Squiggee line of painted canvases. Even if you are not really into these ancient creatures, you'll enjoy reading what Gail says about the creative process and her funny story of her brother-in-law versus the armadillo.

Finally, Callaway Gardens' School of Needle Arts has released their classes for 2012. Read this and dream!
