New Summery Tote Bag Series

Fireside Stitchery is featuring some wonderful tote bag and matching canvas sets from BB Needlepoint, similar to those available from Julie Paukert. BB's versions are all flower or beach themed, and they are perfect for summer.  So stitch yourself something to carry before Labor Day!

The Traveling Needle Visits Michigan

It's summertime and although family vacations are starting to be a thing of the past in these days with everyone working, Diane's been traveling in Michigan and has a report for us on The Lost Art Yarn and Needlepoint Shop  in Traverse City.

I hope you get to stop at several great needlepoint shops while traveling this summer and that--even better!--you tell us all about it.

Something REALLY Different

Now this is something REALLY different--thread that changes colors in sunlight! This is machine embroidery thread that is one color inside and another outside.  It's not cheap but I bet a group of moms might go in together and invest in a set to share with their kids this summer.
