Teachers' Books and Videos

Teaching needlepoint is an organized sport.  Robin King has her lessons all organized in notebooks.  Of course with the Creepy Characters also being a monthly club, she is teaching some of the Creeps and not others.  But every piece in the set goes in a big notebook all the same, ready for Robin to work her magic when called on.

Julia Snyder just taught at BeStitched and also at Needle Bug.  BeStitched has posted a video of her teaching a gathered stitch.

Needle Bug posted close up photos of three of the canvases Julia taught at their shop.  Aren't they fabulous?

We Look Like a Million Bucks

Denise stitched collars for her Tonkinese and the cats are proud as punch of how great they look.  I think they are very well done myself and they feature the safety breakaway latches, too.  Actually, I think this is the first time I've ever seen photos of cat collars.  They are magnificent.
