Yes, it's finally happened. Tony Minieri has a website.
http://www.tonyminieri.com
You can see some of Tony's original designs, check his class schedule, read his bio, and check in on occasional blog postings. There is a link to Tony's Pinterest page and a place to buy lovely chatelaines and scissor fobs.

Sadly, you can't buy old class materials or see what stitch guides Tony can provide, but perhaps that will come in time. The first step has been taken toward that goal, however, even if it is OUR goal, not Tony's.
Congratulations to Tony and Luis and their friends!

Peter Ashe Stocking (Video)
If you are a fan of Peter Ashe canvases or Santas, you'll want to see the video Barbara's Needlepoint posted on Facebook showing the stocking that a customer stitched. Sorry it's sideways but this was the shop's first video and it is full of information about the threads and stitches used on this Santa stocking.

Fair Winners
This is the time of year that there are many local and state fairs, many of which offer ribbons for needlework. I've collected quite a few Facebook photos of award-winning needlepoint that I thought Id share with you. Here's a blue ribbon from the Minnesota state fair. This is Sue Kerndt's "Holiday Patches" but the stitcher is unknown.
