I know I've overdone it with postings today but how can I resist when both Vicky DeAngelis and Robin King celebrate the Autumn Equinox with a blog posting?! I sure don't want to wait until Autumn Equinox 2013 to post these!
Vicky celebrates by posting her favorite fall canvases.

Robin celebrates by charting us a fabulous fall pumpkins and wheat sheaves stitch! She originally created it for the background of her Katt Z. Witch (which I personally think of as Hermonine Granger). I might have to add this stitch guide to my collection. There are a lot of fun tips in it I could use elsewhere....

Happy Autumn Equinox!

Dreaming in Color
Kaffe Fassett's autobiography is available in bookstores now! He is better known for his textile and knitting design, but his needlepoint books are wonderful. The man understands color and using one's eyes better than anyone else I know.

Finding Glorious Needlepoint in a bookstore in 1989 was like being hit by lighting. I'll never forget that moment!

Don't Be A Snail!
Michele at Bristly Thistle reminds stitchers the Christmas finishing deadlines are upon us with this charming Christmas snail from Kirk and Hamilton (the masters of the unexpected). AND there is a bonus tip from the fabulous SharonG about choosing threads for open stitches like T stitch!

Speaking of finishing and deadlines, here is a similar note from The Needlepointer. Stitch faster!
