Counted Inchies at Shining Needle Society

Needle Delights just posted a photo of the finished "Inchies" design that will be taught at Shining Needle Society plus the four colorways students can choose from.   The piece is a sampler made up of squares of pattern.

If you aren't familiar with Shining Needle Society, it is an organization that sets up cyberclasses throughout the year and emails folks on its mailing list as each class comes available.  To get on the mailing list, you just find "Shining Needle Society" on Yahoo Groups and ask to join.
http://groups.yahoo.com

A search brings up a bunch of SNS groups.  There is one for each class.  The group you want to ask to join is Shining Needle Society Home Room.  This is the place where you will hear about new classes as they become available.  You'll get periodic emails (one a week at most) about classes with all the details and a reminder when the sign up deadline is approaching.  Once you see a class you want to take, follow the instructions in the message about that class and your email address will be added to the Yahoo Group for that class where you can ask questions, get detailed instructions and hang out with your fellow students.  It's stitching classes for those who don't live in a place where such classes are available or who can't get to them for whatever reason.

Summer Needlepoint

Summer vacation time is time for a new travel project, isn't it? Renee tells us of summer in the Catskills when she was little, and the friendships from then that carry forward now.

Mark the Date to Go to Camden

The New England Needle Festival will be August 17th in Camden, Maine soon.  Susan just posted about it on Facebook.  Joni Stevenson is going to teach a class.

Yes, THAT Joni Stevenson!

You can find out more or sign up for Joni's class through Fox View Needlepoint.  Wish I could be there.  Maine is gorgeous in the summer!  (It's gorgeous in the winter as well, but not nearly as easy to visit through all that snow and cold.)
