Breaking News: Beth Robertson Is Gone UPDATED

Whether you ever met (or even heard of) Beth Robertson or not, your stitching is better because of her. She collaborated with Suzanne Howren on the Stitches for Effects books, with Ann Caswell on the Thread Thesaurus, and with Suzanne,  Meredith Willett and Tony Mineiri to create the Fab Four teaching team. She also was part of SHEAR Creations and the Thread Technique Team (T3).   I'm sad to say I've heard several places this evening that Beth has died.

Party Time on Facebook

Let's Party!

Yesterday was the last day for me to post photos of canvases by Ann Spiess Mills as the Canvas of the Day in honor of the exhibit last month of her art.  Today I revert to my regular Canvas of the Day posting.  Click on the photo to go to the site where I found the eye candy. 

Yesterday was also the day the membership of the Facebook Needlepoint Group hit six thousand.  Today we are having a virtual beach party to celebrate!  You can peak in on the festivities here.
