Absolutely Needlepoint's crab frame weights are starting to come back from the finisher. This was a class on various stitches taught at Absolutely Needlepoint based on the cheerful canvases from Barbara Bergsten. You can still order the instructions.

Or you can choose your own favorite design and stitch from your stash, making up stitches or using Barbara's stitches diagrammed on her website as you go.

Photography Tips
By chance I found two separate sources for tips on taking photographs and videos of our stitching. Mary Corbet does a lot of photographs and videos of her stitching for her fabulous website, so I was eager to look behinds the scenes at her setup.

The Shop Sampler has links to great photography tips, always important if you are taking photos of your stitching.
