Blue Bonnet Studio Needle Arts Retreat 2014

Maryelvis of Blue Bonnet Studio just posted to her Facebook page that their website has been updated with the classes she'll offer at the 2014 Needle Arts Retreat.   This Texas shop does wonderful Japanese Embroidery classes but that isn't all they offer.   There are also classes in goldwork, needlepoint, and much more from many fabulous teachers.  Have fun checking out the offerings, then mark your calendar for February, 2014!

Spiral Eye Needles

If threading needles drives you nuts, you might want to take a look at Spiral Eye Needles. Mary Corbet reviews them here.  There is also a link to the review she did earlier for you to read.  Mary's right--anything that makes your stitching easier is worth owning.

You can buy Spiral Eye Needles (which are stainless steel so those with nickel allergies can probably use them successfully) at The Needle Lady's website.
