Each year Labors of Love combines a love of porcelain with a love of pattern and color to produce a limited edition canvas that comes with china attachments to create a dimensional doll of sorts that rises from a needlepoint background and wears needlepoint outfits. Each year all ten-fifteen canvases sell out. Nimble Needle talks a bit about Madame Pompadour, the subject of this year's edition, on their blog. Click on each photograph to see it better. This year's china pieces are the head and two arms, one holding an amazing fan.

Most of the series are historical royal figures, kings and queens, although a couple of years ago JP Sligh did an amazing geisha figure. You can see them all here. I think my favorite is Anne Boleyn. Can't wait to see her stitched!
