Ever wanted to embroider a fox? Kris Degrave takes you through the process step by step. It's a great tutorial on animal faces and how to use colors to create a realistic critter.

Not into foxes? How about beaded stars?

Just a Reminder....

TNNA
TNNA's fall trade show in St. Charles, Missouri is this weekend. Classes are on Friday and the trade show floor is open for business Saturday and Sunday. This is a "cash and carry" show, which means shops will be able to purchase items to carry home to have in your favorite shop next week. I have been updated the TNNA St. Charles August 2013 tab pretty regularly this week as new items are publicized online. Click on the tab to see that section of Blog, then click on Home to come back to the main page.
I've also been updating the CH Stitch Guides blog pretty regularly this week. There are a group of dog themed stitch guides available from Robin King, a whole slew of stitch guide writers have tackled Tapestry Tent's "Moonlight Tea Party," Changing Woman Design has updated her website to list canvases with stitch guides available, and Needlepoint Land has the first free stitch guide you can dance to. As always, either click on the link below, or click on the magic carpet icon on the right side of the page to fly over there to see all the new postings. You can return via magic carpet here as well.

I hope there are lots of new postings about the new items available at TNNA starting Friday. Stay tuned.

Tapestries

There are a lot of fans of the Bayeux Tapestry who read Blog so I thought I would post a quick article about the Apocalypse Tapestry of Angers and a film that shows off Henry VIII's tapestries. The Apocalypse Tapestry is just that--it shows the Apocalypse arriving on Earth in unforgettable monsters and devils. I wish I knew more about the allegories these things represent. There is a bit of French narration but not much if you watch the video.

Henry VIII's ten tapestries that tell the story of Abraham are still in Hampton Palace. The first link is an introduction and the second link shows one being cleaned.
