Amy's Halloween (and Home Study) Newsletter

The e-newletter for Amy's Golden Strand is out and it's all about Home Study pieces. You can enjoy the Tudors piece from this year, look at next year's Henry VIII themed design, or look back at the Halloweenies and their Haunted Mansion from two years ago if you like. Plenty of fun!

New Designs

Kimberly has finished her Mother's Rocker bicornui, a riff upon her Mother's Rocker chart. I think it is lovely! As I understand it, this will be taught in a class Kimberly is doing in Florida. It might be available as a painted canvas later. I'm not sure about that.

Janet Granger has just finished a new set of designs for her miniature doll house kits.  These are all based on Berlin woolwork.  There are rugs, chair seats, cushions, and more--all suitable for a Victorian doll house.  If you are interested, read carefully to see whether Appleton wool or floss is in the kit you like, and if the design is stitched on 18 count needlepoint canvas or 32 count silk gauze.

Who'd a Thunk It?

Who would have thought that plastic cross stitches would make great wall art?
