Overheard on Facebook

Elaine said, "As I stand in front of my open 'needlepoint closet' and gaze at the contents, I am thankful canvases and threads don't have expiration dates."

Bead Boards UPDATED

In her latest blog posting, Vicky DeAngelis talks about bead boards, which I've never heard of.  I guess the next time I visit The Potomac Beading Company I'll ask about them.

UPDATE:  Here is the Bead Board website, thanks Ceil who says the 6x6 inch size is no longer available. She goes on to say that the bead boards are only available at a few placed.  She's talked to the woman making them and ordered one, which arrived 2-3 days later.  There are fabric choices and Ceil says when you use seed beads, shaking the board turns the beads all side up making them easier to string.
