For the second time this month Blogger is acting up. It won't let me post the correct link to the Canvas of the Day this morning. Anyone interested in Marie Barber's Frenchwoman at Court from Colors of Praise will need to click on this link instead of the photo. I have corrected the link twice and it displays properly in HTML but clicking on the photo takes you to Needlepoint Land's blog.

Sorry. I tried to fix this but there is a bug in the code somewhere that I can't access to fix.
By the way, this article has published but isn't visible. Excuse me while I go into the bathroom to scream....

A Tip for Stitching with Silken Straw
Labels:
Silken Straw,

tips
Randi from The World in Stitches has a very neat tip for Silken Straw. She says, "More on Silken Straw, which I also picked up at market: You can run a needle down the length and split it into strands, putting together the desired number and using a laying tool!"
Very clever, Randi! Since I think Silken Straw too wide for many stitches on 18 count, this is a very useful thing to know. By the way, anyone in the Concord or Lowell, Massachusetts area who wants to see Silken Straw in person can check with Randi at the shop.

Eames Chairs Needlepointed
Are you familiar with Eames chairs? They are classics from the 1960s, often called Mid Century Modern by 20th Century designers. Now that we are in the 21st Century, they are starting to look like antiques.
