Ridgewood Needlepoint has their needlepoint belts on sale, and have posted closeup photos of them on their blog. Some belts have two photos so you can see all the designs.

Remember, belt canvases make great head bands, flip flop straps, shoulder bag straps, etc. Use your imagination and pick up a belt before the sale is over.

Liz and the Mad Miters

Liz Morrow
Sounds like a rock band, doesn't it? Mad Miters is actually the name of a bargello cyberclass Liz Morrow is going to teach for Cyberpointers, the online chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild. Liz's little article shows Mad Miters and has a link to information about the class.

It's my understanding that you don't have to be a member of ANG or of their Cyberpointers Chapter to take the class, but your class fee is smaller if you belong to ANG and smaller still if you are a Cyberpointers member.

Pepper Pot Silk UPDATED
Labels:
Pepper Pot Silk,
Planet Earth Fibers
Planet Earth has a new thread, a silk that is called Pepper Pot Silk. I haven't seen it myself, but it apparently about the diameter of Caron's Impressions and covers well on 18 count canvas. It doesn't look plyable. Janet Perry's done a review.

Here is the Pepper Pot Silk website with all the colors. Click on any thumbnail to see the skein in greater detail.

If your local shop doesn't carry this thread and you want a sample to play with, I've found one shop that carries it.

UPDATE: My spies report that Bedecked and Beaddazzled in Baltimore carries Pepper Pot Silk. Anyone else know other locations where it is available?
