Can't wait until the shops start heading to the needlepoint trade show in Dallas tomorrow!

Boston Fund Raiser Canvas UPDATED
Labels:
Boston,
Facebook,
ornaments,
Stitch Boutique of Boston,
Wellesley
Mer discovered two "Boston Strong" ornaments at Wellesley Needlepoint, probably painted by their in house artists, each a different skyline view of the city. These are fund raisers for victims of the Boston Marathon terrorist bombings. Thanks for the heads up, Mer!

UPDATE: Joyce showed off a similar B Strong ornament on Facebook's Needlepoint Nation group this morning. It also is a round ornament with the Red Sox logo over the word "strong." She picked it up at Stitch Boutique of Boston. I don't see it on their website but if you picture the Red Sox "B" logo on a navy background above "strong" in white letters you know what it looks like.

It is not time for Christmas (yet) but I had to share this amazing finishing of a Santa bell from one of Ridgewood's customers.

The Big Wedding UPDATED
Today, April 26th, a new movie called The Big Wedding opens around the country.
http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2719065881/
So why are needlepointers interested in a comedy of manners? There is needlepoint everywhere!
The Needlepoint Retailer (a magazine for shops and designers) has photographs of many of the pieces used at props on the set in their magazine and they have reproduced those photos on their Facebook page. I hope those without a FB account can see these. I understand the designs are from Jean Smith and JP Needlepoint.

Laura posted this message about the movie and the painted canvases featured in it to the ANG email list (and allowed me to repost here).
If you want to visit the Two's Company website, here's the link.
Thanks for the tip, Ada and Laura! By the way, Laura's website is a fun visit. She teaches wonderful classes on mixed media on needlepoint canvas so there are plenty of examples of her work to enjoy here.

UPDATE: Now that folks have seen the movie, most are disappointed at the short amount of time the needlepoint is on screen. The few folks who have commented on the movie in general say it isn't that great. I will wait and order it on DVD when it comes out in the early fall so I can watch it at my leisure and replay the parts with stitching in them to enjoy the needlepoint.

"Received this from Jane Hardy Hudson, owner of Two's Company Needlepoint in Rock Hill, SC--
This Friday, The Big Wedding starring Susan Sarandon and Robert DiNiro is coming out. Apparently, all through the movie, Susan Sarandon needlepoints, and the scenes in her home are filled with needlepoint.
Most of the designs are those by JP in California and Jean Smith. I talked to Jean about this - she is thrilled. I already have in stock the 3 pieces she says are shown most prominently in the movie for anyone interested. I can't wait to see the movie!"
