Blog Updates

Here's a quick housekeeping update for Blog:  I've added quite a few new postings to the Chilly Hollow Stitch Guides blog (click on the magic carpet photo on the right side of the page to visit there and return back here when you are ready), and also added a few new links to the TNNA WINTER 2013 tab at the top of this page.  I have also added a new tab called TNNA JUNE 2013 as there is already a new posting about new painted canvases that will premiere at that trade show in Columbus.  I'm busy stitching away on a top secret project for the Dallas trade show in April as are many stitch guide writers and model stitches and have a June top secret project waiting in the wings.  Stay tuned, folks!  There are new and wonderful things appearing all the time.

We are very lucky needlepointers to live now during a NP Renaissance.

A New Consignment Shop

The Miami  shop Needlepoint in Paradise has opened a consignment shop online.  I don't know how it works if you are a seller. You will have to contact the shop for that.  Pay careful attention to the description of the bargains so you know exactly what you are getting.  These are older canvases that are being released into the wild by their owners to find a new home.

(Whoops!  They are in Naples, FL.  Thanks for the help, NN!)
