The American Kennel Club's Library in Manhattan had an exhibit called "Bitches in Stitches", i.e. dogs in needlework some years back. Did anyone see this? I've not been able to find any online information.

Let the Good Times Roll
Sue is celebrating Mardi Gras with the best of 'em today.

I've added the links to Kathy Meyer's website where you can admire her Gaughi dolls, just in case Sue's link goes dead sometime in the future.

Hearts and Humbugs UPDATED
Diane's been taking time out to stitch little heart canvases from Associated Talents, using the stitch guides and kits provided by the French Knot in Fort Worth, Texas. Aren't they perfect little Valentines?
http://dianestakingtimeouttoneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-heart-you.html
The stitch guides are all by the wildly talented Diana Bosworth. You can see the entire series that Diana has done to date on the French Knot website.

In other spring design news, Ada Hayden shares how her Eye Candy humbugs are made up into the humbug shape. You will have seen this pattern in Needlepoint Now if you subscribe, so Ada kindly explains how to make this up if you decided to stitch her design.

Linda of The Stitching Sisters is enjoying the Easter Egg series she has been stitching. The eggs are from a club from The Needle House called From Russia With Love.The canvases are designed by Renaissance Designs to be miniature Faberge eggs in needlepoint. UPDATE: Elizabeth, who is also stitching these, says the designer is A Collection of Designs. Sorry for the error!

Spring themes in needlepoint are wonderful, especially if you are looking at them during the depths of winter.
