Blogger Nixes Canvas of the Day

Blogger, which is showing its tempermental side today, won't let me post a new photo for the Canvas of the Day section over in the right hand column.  So yesterday's will remain in place but those who need a Canvas of the Day fix can go visit Sheena's blog to see the Daily Canvas she's chosen.

Sorry for the technical difficulties.  I'll keep trying off and on today.

Circle August 15th on Your Calendar

If you are a big fan of Sandy Arthur's first book, Shapes of Needlepoint, then you need to circle 8/15 on your calendar.  That's when Sandy's second  Shapes of Needlepoint book is coming out.  Marianne at New Needlepoint is taking pre-orders for book two which will have diagrams for various sizes of diamonds, hearts, octagons and stars.

Kaffe Fassett Biography

The newsletter from Kaffe Fassett's assistant arrived in my email box today. It says he is working on his biography.  I think that's something I must buy when it is published.  He is my hero, after all!  Why is he my hero?  Check out his recent quilts, particularly Mexican Party.
