Uptown Girls

When I used one of the Uptown Girls canvases (a series from The Collection that features a young woman and her dog) as Canvas of the Day this week, lots and lots of folks commented on them.  Since many people don't read the comments or even pay attention to the Canvas of the Day, I thought I'd post the links here so everyone could enjoy them.  The series starts on this page.  There are more on Page 3.

The designer's website has even more of them, plus a stitched model.  It says they are sized to fit the Stirling purses.  I think they are a fun series myself and I'm very glad so many of you agree!

Needlepoint Canvas versus Linen

If you've ever peeked over the shoulder of someone who is stitching on linen and wondered how that is different than stitching on NP canvas, this article's for you.

The Gay Ann mentioned is Gay Ann Rogers.  Ann the blogger does a lot of model stitching for Gay Ann.  Here is her website, which is a wonderful one when it comes to learning about design and techniques.
