One of the two big things I've been meaning to do this fall has been finished--I have added a tab to Blog that lists all sorts of online resources to teach yourself to needlepoint or to move from tent stitches to fancier stitches and threads. It's just a beginning, a stab at trying to help new stitchers or stitchers wanting to stretch their skills, but it's better than nothing.
One thing I'd like to add to the "Teach Yourself Needlepoint & Embellishment" tab is a listing of shops that have beginner kits available for those who want to dabble in needlepoint without spending a fortune. Many of us aren't close to a shop so getting supplies via mail order means we need to be able to get blank canvas and threads, or a small painted design and threads, plus a packet of needles in one place. If you as a shop owner do this, or if you as a customer know your shop provides this service, please let me know so I can update the article with a list of shops.
You can either email me at chillyhollowathotmaildotcom or you can leave a Comment below. Thanks!

Jane, you never cease working to be an even more comprehensive resource to needle pointers! Thank you.
Thanks, Nancy. If I don't do it, who will? It is easy for me to get something done since I'm not a committee. I just have to find the time.
