Liz's Fabulous Border Reminded Me

This morning I visited Liz Morrow's blog and discovered she is blending elements from Tony Minieri's Stars for the New Millennium with elements from Pam Gardner's From Molehill to Mountain to create a border for her From Molehill interpretation since both finished pieces will live in the same room. Liz is making them harmonious by creating a border where there was none before. If you are curious, here is how she is going about it.

Seeing this reminded me that I needed to update the Counted Canvaswork Designers tab with a mention of Pam's masterpiece, so I did.   If you aren't familiar with Pam's design, you can check it out further there.  I've also added Betty Chen Louis, Joan Gantt and a few other designers to the counted list, just in case you are interested.  M. reminded me that designers and teachers whose work is only available via eBay belong on the list, even if it is just to alert folks to the fact that they created wondrous things worthy of belonging in our stashes.

If you are a shop carrying the From Molehill to Mountain chart book, please let me know.  I couldn't find anyone who had it except Amazon affiliates and I'd prefer a link to a needlepoint shop if possible.  I did find some nice photos, though.

Superhero Needlepoint

Pocket Full of Stitches is posting photos of their new designs as they come into the shop. Today's posting is particularly interesting if you need to stitch a super hero for a fan of Captain America, Batman and Robin, or Superman.   You also might be interested in stitching a real super hero--a fireman--from The Studio. These little designs (many which come with capes) are meant to be stitched and hung on a miniature hanger as ornaments.  Super for that little boy in your house (or heart)!

(The Studio also has a fire engine and a London bus if you have a Harry Potter fan on your hands.)
