A Peak Inside "That's Not Needlepoint Book 2"

In Robin King's latest report about the TNNA Market last week, she tells us about dede Odgen's new project book.  Since Robin worked on the book diagrams and guides for three of the six projects described, she has a unique perspective and information about the book.

This is the second book in the "That's Not Needlepoint" series.  Here is the first, which I own, and which is set up in a similar way.  It is half stitch guide for several of dede's canvases and half inspiration since so many of the topics and stitches she covers can be used anywhere.

I reviewed the first book.  You can see that review here.  Do read the comments as well as they reveal even more about the first book's organization.

HP Boxes

I am impressed by the beauty of the boxes by HP Designs, so I thought you'd like to see a batch that just arrived at Nimble Needle.  These are made for stitched inserts in the lids and come in a huge range of styles and finishes.
