Older Needlepoint on Show

The Domestiquete has been at an antique show where she found all sorts of examples of old needlepoint.  The framed picture is probably the oldest piece, with the elaborate scrollwork chair upholstery a bit later (I'm guessing it is trame) and then the teal chair seats date from the early 1970s perhaps.  They all are wonderful, aren't they?

For Those Who Can't Visit Woodlawn

Not everyone can be in the Mount Vernon area in time to visit Woodlawn Plantation's needlework show. So I have a special treat for you stay-at-home types--an exhibition of the Christmas stitching of Janice G. Huseth.  There are the big Amanda Lawford stand up Santas, slightly smaller Napier Santas, small Santa ornaments from Petei, double-sided Melissa Shirley Santas, and a wonderful three dimensional Christmas house from A Collection of Designs.  So pour yourself your favorite beverage, settle down in a comfortable chair, and enjoy your own private show by choosing a category, waiting for the images to load, and then pushing the Next arrow when you are ready.
