Lisa HK just posted photographs on Facebook she took of one of Bergdorf's Christmas windows in New York City. She says that the window has both stitched and unstitched canvases that are portraits of literary figures. The window also uses felting and macramé.

Here are more photographs. The red Literature window photos are the ones with needlepoint portraits.

Here is more about the inspiration behind the window series. There are some photos of the computer stitched portraits and the felted bust but nothing else.

Tropical Jazz Revisited

Terry Dryden is having to scramble to pick up threads for her older Tropical Jazz kits now. This is something that happens a lot to us stitchers as the small businesses that create our threads and other supplies run out of stock and can't afford to make more or can't get the necessary elements to make more. Terry looks on this as Revisiting a design, and I think that's a good way to think of it.

So the next time you pick up a stitch guide and can't get some of the threads listed,
revisit the design and customize it to your own liking with something you can get your hands on. After all, this makes it uniquely yours.
