ThreadworX has just announced the publication of two little Thread Candy Studio books for your stitching pleasure. One is a journal for listing your projects, threads, stitch guides, etc. It is small and portable, great for dropping in your purse before you had to the shops for some Stash Enhancement Experience. Think of it as a cross between a memory book and an inventory.

The second book seems to be geared towards needlepointers who are just sticking their toe into the deep and exciting waters of painted canvas embellishment. It diagrams the basic fancy stitches that we use over and over again, and includes a few tips for the less experienced stitcher. You can read more about both books and see a sample page at this link.

Actually, the pair might be the perfect stocking stuffer for that friend or relative you are teaching to needlepoint.

Thread Inventory Spreadsheets
Three different folks have thread inventories online for stitchers to use to keep track of what threads they have in their person stashes. The first site is a collaboration between Linda K. Reinmiller and Susan Johnson. Linda has a series of thread brand inventory spreadsheets in Excel plus links to Susan's Google Documents spreadsheets on her teaching website. Here is where you can find it. Note that Linda is constantly working on updating and adding information. When new lists or updated lists are available, she posts a notice on the ANG email list.

The last set of inventory sheets are courtesy of Needle Artworks which has maintained this since the late Jennifer Ashley Taylor set up the site until now under Ruth Schmuff's new ownership. The pages are meant to be printed out and kept in a notebook.
