A Different View in Different Colors

The New Jersey Needle Arts Chapter of ANG is doing a Stitch of the Month project using one of Kurdy Briggs' designs.  Since they just posted photos of the various color ways, I thought you'd like to see them.

If you've never heard of Kurdy's company Threedles, here is her website, which is full of complex designs worked from charts.  Her work is amazing in person.   You can't see the sparkle or all the beads and crystals in the photographs.

On Trend

Some people might think needlepoint old fashioned, but designers are using all sorts of needlework on their luxury shoes for Spring 2015.  Time to break out that stitched purse or belt or shoes and strut your stuff with the best of them!
