Fans of traditional needlepoint will enjoy this tribute to Elizabeth Bradley Designs. Don't miss reading the comments!

By the way, I think all Elizabeth Bradley kits come with the design on the canvas plus a chart as well.
UPDATE: Janet Perry has reprinted a profile of the company history.

Button, Button, Who Has the Buttons?
Sometimes you need just the right button for your canvas. If you want to browse what's available online, Three Stitches in Texas has tons of buttons from Just Another Button Company on their website.

Threadneedle Street is another great needlepoint shop with a large selection of buttons on their website. Click on Buttons and then browse the left side of the page to select from Susan Clarke, Mill Hill and Just Another Button Company treats. Before you start looking for the perfect finishing button, though, read the information in the center of the page for washing instructions, sizes, and other important details.

Colour Complements Does Rainforest Crunch
Colour Complements is a Canadian company that offers hand dyed threads, ranging from perle cottons to silks to rayons. Recently Lorraine the owner has been stitching Needle Delight's "Rainforest Crunch" using her own line of threads. I think she mostly used perle cottons. Here is the finished piece. Isn't it wonderful!?

Many thanks to Lorraine for stitching blogging her progress using her own thread lines. I really enjoyed seeing what color combinations she would use each month.
