I've been collecting links that have all sorts of wonderful tips for us stitchers. The first summarizes information from a Margaret Bendig class at Quail Run, particularly tips on how to anchor a new thread so it is both secure and invisible on the front. There are some lovely photos of Margaret's charted work, too!

The second link shows off progress on the latest Enriched Stitch and talks about how to achieve dimension on this very complex piece that shows both the exterior and interior of a needlework shop.

The third is to a report on a Meredith Willet class at Bedecked and Beadazzled. The ideas she came up with for each and every canvas are exactly perfect! (Meredith is an author, shop owner, distributor of needlepoint canvases, oversees a fabulous finishing business, and also is famous for her goldwork classes. You name it, she can do it.)

My final link isn't to any tips but shows two wonderful purses made from canvases that normally wouldn't be made up into pocketbooks. Very clever!
