The Needlepointer's Class Schedule

This morning I found an announcement of the July-October classes at The Needlepointer. It's a full and fun schedule, starting with today!  It looks like at least some of the classes are going to be available via mail order for those who can't be there in person, which is a good thing for us long distance learners.

I'm Starting to Get It

I am starting to see why friends of mine are addicted to certain canvas series. How about these Painted Pony angels? There's something for every taste, interest or location.  By the way, PFOS has all their Christmas items on sale at twenty percent off until the end of July, so if you are a Painted Pony angel collector, it's time to act.

The Big Stocking Adventure UPDATED LOTS

I don't know about you, but I've never stitched one of those big Christmas stockings. I've done little ones, the mini size, but never a bigger one.  I am unwilling to spend all that money for the canvas, threads and finishing.   That doesn't mean I'm not envious of Katherine's adventure as she stitches a Susan Roberts' Queen stocking to match theKing she stitched for her husband.  Here's the adventure so far~

I can't wait to see how the Queen comes to life.  Stitch faster....

By the way, if you are curious about Susan Roberts' designs, here is her website.

Needlepoint Frames

Carolyn Hedge Baird takes us on a tour of needlepoint picture frames in her latest Living with Needlepoint posting.

Just in case you don't like stitched frames, Ruth Schmuff has found a line of pre-made frames that might be more to your taste.
