Karen Starts Counting

In a startling departure from her usual painted canvas style, Karen Hennessy of Zecca has finished her first charted design!   Fans of counted canvaswork are eager to get their hands on this beauty.  Karen promises to let us know when it will be available, so stay tuned.

Betty Lives!

I think this is a charming story and applaud the new owners of Fleece and Flax who are keeping Betty's memory alive (not to mention needlework) in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Here's a bit about the shop.  They have a Facebook page called Fleece and Flax if you have an account.   I bet they'd be thrilled if you "liked" their page.

New Jersey Needle Fest with Finishing

New Jersey Needle Fest was the first weekend in November and it looks like great fun.  Karen at Nimble Needle went and had a blast!  But as she says, "Not interested in looking at a room of middle aged women? Here's some items that have recently come back from various finisher."  LOL

The finished items that just showed up in her shop are wonderful, as is this amazing tefillin bag in a stained glass pattern with the Star of David and the recipient's name in Hebrew.

Keep up the great stitching, folks!  (And thanks for sharing.)
