The Brick Purse

Needle Nicely is working a small boxy purse from JP Needlepoint as a shop model. It's always interesting to see how Mary Agnes works pieces for her traditional clients.

Finishing Friday: DIY with Plastic Cavnas

Jenny Henry has created a classic monogram design for plastic canvas and has done a tutorial on how to make it into a pillow.  It turned out great so I thought I'd post this for folks who have kids at home over the summer who might want to stitch their own pillow and work with you to finish it.
