The Needlepoint Book, 2014 2015 Edition UPDATE

Here is what Jo I. Christen posted on Facebook on March 31st about her 2014 2015 update of her famous Needlepoint Book--

At long last, The Needlepoint Book manuscript has been sent to Simon & Schuster!

It has a lot of new stuff! There are 1537 illustrations; 52 or 53 new stitches; about 75-80 of the old stitches have been restitched and rephotographed. Seven new chapters to help you interpret the painted canvas in every way---from the selection of the design itself to the attachment of embellishments. The choice of colors for stitching people in your designs now has a head start with a table of Suggested People Colors in both Splendor and DMC floss.

And much more. . . . Look for it in October 2014. I hope you like it!

Thank you very much for your continued support!

Update:  The latest news is the publication date has been moved to Spring 2015 and that the book will be issued in hardback.

Diane Goes to NC -- AND SHOPS

Diane has been in North Carolina recently, touring the Research Triangle area and visiting with her daughter. So of course she hit the local shops and is reporting on her visit.  First, she was in Chapel Hill, visiting Chapel Hill Needlepoint.

Then she visited Raleigh's Needlepoint.com in their new location.
