Zecca's updated their website. There are many colorful things to enjoy, so do pour a cuppa and browse the canvases and buttons. I don't see their laying tools, so these might have been discontinued. Too bad!

By the way, Enriched Stitch is a big fan of Zecca and have put the Zecca canvases they have in stock at in the shop on sale at ten percent off until June 10th.

Excuse Me While I Grind My Teeth

Po's Point
No one keeps up with local news better than Barbara Bergsten and she shares what she finds on Facebook with all her stitching friends. Nice!

Sadly, this story from the biggest newspaper in Charlotte, NC makes me grind my teeth. "Lost art of needlepoint"? I prefer to say we are stitching under the radar.
Bet the stitching group at Po's Point are half amused and half embarrassed at the reporter's article, but I suppose if it brings more stitchers out of the woodwork, we can stand for needlepoint to be called "lost."

Or Nue' Explained

Several bloggers have talked about the Or Nue' class they took recently. This is an old technique that is particularly lovely on the right design. I thought you'd like to see what folks are saying in case you want to try this yourself.

Besides the Jane Zimmerman article mentioned above, you may be interested in my favorite online free project from the late Mary Duckworth.
