More College Needlepoint

Want to see more college themed needlepoint?  Stitch by Stitch has a nice little collection shown on their blog.   I had no idea how popular these ornaments are!

For the Sampler Fan

Carolyn Hedge Baird takes a close look at a needlepoint sampler from Ewe and Eye. It looks traditional but has very modern needlepoint embellishment.  Enjoy!

Needle Fests

I didn't know there were local Needle Festivals until Susan mentioned it on Facebook's Needlepoint Nation.  There are two scheduled for 2013--New Jersey's is April 27 and Maine's is August 17.  If you live in these areas, put this on your calendar.

Threadnuts is the importer of Painter's Threads so you can pick up samples of Painter's Threads from them.

You can also visit the Painters Threads website.  Please note this is in Europe (France?) so you'll have to pick your language.
