Inside the Books

Ruth has two new books in her shop this week:  Little Shoppe's Ins and Outs (stitches for building interiors and exteriors) and Julia Snyder's Great Layers for Needlepoint (laid stitch patterns).  If you wanted to get an idea of what's inside each book, click on the link below.

Navajo Needlepoint Horse Chairs

Orna Willis is always on the lookout for interesting and different needlepoint projects. She came up with photos of Navajo blankets and horse needlepoint chairs this morning. Neat!

These are from a Dallas boutique.  It's an interesting way to recycle blankets and older needlepoint for 21st Century homes.  Looks like they have been sold, however.
