In honor of the men and women who serve in the military, Needle Bug is having a Veterans Day sale today, November 11 AND NOVEMBER 12-13! (UPDATE: Sale extended through the weekend because Needle Bug's blog hates them, too.) All stocking canvases and Amanda Lawford Santas are twenty-five percent off. Selected items (there are 339 of them!) are half off. They promise to have photos up on their website by 9 a.m. November 11 to assist long distance shoppers.

Warning: The video repeats, which is nice if you want to see it all again. If not, just stop when the tape repeats. The canvas being taught in the class is Bedazzled Boat Buddies by John Johanssen. Here's what the whole thing looks like.

A second video has been posted, showing petals made from two passes of a silk ribbon through needlepoint canvas. These are neat techniques that show just how versatile silk ribbons can be on your canvas.
