Anyone Recognize This?

Does anyone recognize the designer of this lovely group of ladies? A friend is interested in this piece which we found on In Stitches' shop blog. Sadly, the photo was from some years back and the shop doesn't remember the name of the designer as they specialize in counted thread, not needlepoint. Any help would be appreciated! 

You can leave a comment here or if comments don't work for you, just email me directly at chilly hollow athotmail dot com.  Thanks!

UPDATE:  Martin found this via Google Images on a cross stitch site.  It is apparently the work of a Polish designer.  I think the photo above is a painted canvas, though.  If anyone knows who distributed it, I would love to know.

Thanks Martin.  You are The Best!

Bring Your Stitching to Life

Many of you have heard Susan Portra's motto, "Bring Your Canvas to Life." I am pretty sure that this is NOT what she meant!  But you know, bringing painted canvases to life is just what we do, except we mostly use needle and thread.

Magnets and Fobs

Pocket Full of Stitches has posted photos of new items in the shop, including new magnetsfrom Merry L Prints.   Some of these are unique, particularly the Cozy Needle Rest Magnet, which appears to be gathered felt.  It's a nice way to keep your needle rust free if they did use real one hundred percent wool felt.  The company also has The Needle Stops Here and The Scissors Hang Here magnets and fobs.  Merry L Prints is the company that did the beaded scissor fobs and magnets for Amy Bunger's current Tudors class and you can see a few of the beaded medallion style fobs on the Merry L Prints Facebook page.  You can also see some of the new rhinestone scissor fobs from Elizabeth Turner Collection.  These are wonderful charms to keep your scissors easy to find in the stitching chair and unique when you are in class with a bunch of other stitchers and need to keep your scissors apart from every one else's.
