New Out of Africa

Fans of Terry Dryden (and who isn't?) will be thrilled to see another new design, this one inspired by Africa.  Terry's designs are always bold and colorful and very interesting to stitch because of all the complex pattern.  I hope I get to take a class from her one day.

As an added bonus, it looks like Terry is planning to walk us through the evolution of another new class design, Pears.  Because of the pintangle background, this one's going to be verra interesting, as the old folks used to say.

Attention Visual Learners

Anyone who looks at stitch diagrams and has their eyes immediately cross will be glad to bookmark Needlepoint Now magazine's video page. They add a video or two about every issue to help explain the various stitches used in projects.  If you want to know how to lasso beads, how to stitch a dagger Amadeus, or how to do turkey work, it's all there plus more.
