Enjoy!

Boo to You (SJ Designs) UPDATED

Susan Johnson of SJ Designs posted a free Halloween ornament for stitchers to create on her website.  It's called the "Boo to You" ornament and looks to be a fun and fast stash buster to stitch on Halloween.  It's meant to be totally beaded but there is no reason you can't pull colors of threads from your stash and follow the chart in tent stitches.

UPDATE:  Susan has reposted last year's "Very Very Merry" chart, just in case folks missed it.

Eyeballs

Was it Shakespeare's three witches who talked about "eye of newt and toe of frog?"  Do you think he was thinking about the Zecca retreat at Bedecked and Beadazzled?

Liz Teams with Jim Williams and the Gardner's Alphabet is Reborn

Back in 1982 Jim Williams published a series of floral alphabet letters in Needlepoint News magazine. Liz Morrow helped with the charting for the magazine at that time and always loved these, so she was thrilled when Mr. Williams gave her permission to chart each letter with its flowers and republish the designs. 
http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/gardeners-alphabet_28.html

Each letter is sold separately as a PDF file via Liz's website.
http://www.lizartneedlepoint.com/LizArt_Needlepoint.php

I Can Barely See Mary for the Pretty Trees UPDATED

Mary Waldsmith of Owl Stitchery just announced more about access to her famous tree designs.   If you belong to ANG, you'll get the Silver Blue Tree chart in the November 2016 issue of Needle Pointers. The Elegant Holiday Tree is available from EGA and local ANG chapters can use it as a program if you make arrangements with Mary.  Mary will be teaching her Mini Checked Pine at EGA's South Central Regional Seminar in Dallas next June.
http://owlstitchery.blogspot.com/2015/10/no-cost-charted-needlepoint.html

Thanks, Mary!  Your trees are beautiful! Counted canvas workers everywhere can go to bed happy tonight, with the new tree and star charts available.

UPDATE:  Mary posted photos of four versions of her tree stitched by John Waddell.  He even added borders to all four.  Amazing!

Speaking of Belts

Speaking of belts, Ridgewood Needlepoint just helped a customer design the International Flag Belt.
http://ridgewoodneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2015/10/gretchens-international-flag-belt-this.html

I have to admit I'd never heard of The Needlepoint Belt Book but it looks very interesting and useful for those who love designing their own belts.

Stretching

One Off Needlework talks about how they "stretch" canvases sent to them for finishing. (We call it blocking.)  Personally I think stitch tension has a lot to do with whether a piece done all in basketweave needs blocking, whether it was worked on a frame or not.  However, it's my impression that British needlepointers rarely use a frame, so that may be involved here, too.

In Case You Thought a Teacher's Life Was Easy UPDATED

I'm reposting this with updates as it is such an important topic.

Cross your fingers for Debbie!
http://debbeesdesigns.com/DDWrdPrs/?p=1662

UPDATE:  Orna Willis goes through the same thing.
http://ornadesign.blogspot.com/2015/10/i-couldnt-have-said-it-better.html

MORE UPDATES:  In case you wondered why thread companies find it so hard to fill orders, here is some insight.
http://chillyhollownp.blogspot.com/2014/04/we-wait-and-i-worry.html

http://www.needlenthread.com/2014/05/finer-embroidery-threads.html

We are used to a world in which things are mass produced, not a world in which things are made in small batches by artisans.    If you look at your current needlepoint project and imagine all the work that went into producing the materials you are using, well, you can see why teachers (and shops and stitchers) sometimes feel frustrated.  We are very lucky to be living when we do when so much is available but it is not a perfect world with everything you wish for at your fingertips.

Maybe in my next lifetime....

The Bowdoin Belt Boys UPDATED

Thanks to Palma, I have an interesting profile of Smathers and Branson's needlepoint belt business for you to enjoy.  I had no idea of their connection to The Point of It All in D.C., or that this was a company based in Maryland.
http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Magazine/July-August-2015/Smathers-Branson/index.php?cparticle=1&siarticle=0#artanc

There's an interview with the founders on Bloomberg at the end of this profile of three preppy companies.
http://video.tampabay.com/Preppy-Handbook-Inside-the-Three-Preppiest-Labels-25484962

In case you aren't familiar with Smathers and Branson's pre stitched belts, fobs, and more, here is their website.
http://smathersandbranson.com

UPDATE:  They are in the Washington Post now. By the way, it'll cost around $300 (painted canvas, threads, finishing) to stitch a belt yourself and have it finished.  This doesn't take into account your stitching time, of course.  People on Facebook say the Smathers and Branson belts are thin and not done in basketweave so they won't last the way a needlepointed belt made from scratch by a stitcher will.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/guys-arent-usually-into-needlepoint-but-this-company-sells-them-on-it/2015/12/17/e41e8c6a-a42f-11e5-b53d-972e2751f433_story.html

BREAKING NEWS: Lynn Insko Dies UPDATED

I just spotted this obituary on Facebook for Mr. Lynn Insko,  well known as a superb needlepoint belt finisher.  I thought he was the founder of Hill Top Leather which carries own under the leadership of Glynn Broner but I was wrong.  Mr. Insko had his own business which Hill Top Leather took over.  See Glynn's comment below.  Sorry for the misunderstanding!
http://www.hilltopleather.com

UPDATE:  Just to clarify, the founder of Hill Top Leather Shop is not deceased. The owner and founder of Hill Top Leather Shop is Glynn Broner. Mr. Lynn Insko is the deceased and had his own business finishing needlepoint belts for 30+ years. Mr. Insko contacted Glynn in the spring of 2014 about taking over his needlepoint business as he wished to retire. Mr. Insko was a great mentor, teacher, and friend of Glynn and Hill Top Leather Shop took over Mr. Insko's business completely in June of 2014. Mr. Insko was a wonderful gentleman and a fine teacher. We will be forever grateful for his generosity in allowing us to continue his work and for the opportunity to know him for the brief period of time that we were given.

Mrs. Mellon's Pillow

The Point of It All talks about Bunny Mellon's estate sale and the pillow that was a big hit on their blog.
http://thepointofitallonline.com/needlepoint-sayings/

You can get a better glimpse of Bunny's pillow here, plus an idea of her personal style.
http://femmeetfleur.blogspot.com/2014/11/bunny-mellon-sale-at-sothebys.html

She and Mr. Mellon were very very popular in this area. Oak Spring Farm is perhaps an hour's drive over the mountain from Chilly Hollow, so many of the folks who did work for them live in this area. They all loved the Mellons who were very good to their employees, something of a rarity among the very rich in that area. Judged according to the pillow's rule, they were Somebody Indeed.

Gay Ann Rogers Has a Sale UPDATED

Tomorrow Gay Ann Roger's annual chart sale will begin. Here's a hint as to what will be available.
https://www.facebook.com/860462527326471/photos/np.1444190938629544.1277706333/946540988718624/?type=3

This sale will be smaller than in year's past as Gay Ann was ill over the summer.  She's all better now but getting ready for a big chart sale when you're not feeling 100% means this will be mostly small heart ornaments only.  Still, it will be fun and something special is promised for Saturday's offerings. To get an idea of what Gay Ann's hearts look like and get a preview of what's going to be sold, go to her website.
http://www.gayannrogers.com

UPDATE:  A direct link to the hearts and the crown ornament.  Warning: You will be tempted by all the feminine lovelies here!
http://www.gayannrogers.com/royal-hearts-sale.html

UPDATE #2:  With the sale over, the images are gone but here is Brenda's Imperial Rubies Heart.

Using Pastels for Shading (BeStitched's Video Tips)

Needlepoint Flix, the video instructional arm of BeStitched, has released a new complimentary video on how to use pastel pencils to shade a canvas when you can't get the right color of thread.
http://www.needlepointflix.com/rLgd/using-pastels-for-shading/

It's something fun and different to try, particularly when getting the right shade to match a canvas seems impossible.  It's also a good introduction to Needlepoint Flix in case you want to subscribe to this wonderful service.  Here's more about how it all works. Right now there are nine complimentary videos so you can see what you are getting for the money.

Orna's Silk Collections UPDATED

UPDATE:  More colors!
http://ornadesign.blogspot.com/2015/10/thank-you-so-much.html

She is a master of color, so if you are about to embark on a counted canvaswork piece and need help picking colors, just study what Orna has put together.    It's a free color lesson from a woman who understands color like she understands breathing.

Here is her web store, in case you want to buy.  Personally I only want about all of them!

https://knitweave.wordpress.com/2015/04/18/ks-creations-stow-away-floor-stand/

Here is her stand on the K's website.
http://www.kscreations.com/floor_stowaway.htm

The shipping problems were due to her living in Canada but as many needlepointers don't live in the U.S., I would love for our companies to take better care of people who don't live in the Lower 48.

Look! Dye Lots!

Mary Agnes just realized that DMC is now putting dye lot numbers on their labels, not just on a box of one color batch of threads sent to a shop.   I don't know when this happened, but it may come in handy for those who need several skeins of one color of DMC's products.

Taking Susan Portra and Running With It

Lorraine at Colour Complements is always looking for fun things to stitch with her line of hand dyed threads. This time her inspiration was an article by Susan Portra in Needlepoint Now magazine.
http://colourcomplements.com/2015/09/needlepoint-stitch-sample-3.html

If Lorraine can mess around with a pattern, so can you.  Try this with your leftover bits of thread and canvas and enjoy seeing what you and Susan Porta can come up with!

My Personal Favorites from Destination Dallas


"View of St. Andrews" by Otto Agular/Purple Palm

Let me show you my personal favorites from Destination Dallas. First up is this piece from Otto Agular, the new artist represented by Purple Palm Designs.  There are quite a few new pieces from him available to stitch but this one really caught my eye.  You can see all of them on Purple Palm Designs' Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/PurplePalmDesigns/photos/a.800127770017208.1073741834.796107397085912/1113256142037701/?type=1


Mary Lake-Thompson's Witch on a Bike

I also like the new Mary Lake-Thompson witch on her bicycle with her streaming red hair and the hissing cat in the tote bag up front.  Even the smiling pumpkin riding the rear makes me smile.  Melissa Shirley Designs posted information about this new design from their MLT line on Facebook.

Sharon Hendy-Moman's "Breeze Caught Kimono"

I'm a sucker for Asian themes on needlepoint canvas so I really liked Ruth Schmuff's latest artist, Sharon Hendy-Moman.  I particularly like her "The Breeze Caught My Kimono" which you see above.

Mary Engelbreit's "This Is The Life"

Painted Pony Designs has bought the rights to reproduce some of Mary Engelbreit's designs on needlepoint canvas.  It's hard to pick a favorite but "This Is The Life" is really fun and has the bonus of looking like me when I was ten.
http://www.amybunger.com/catalog/item/8948140/10215228.htm


Kimberly's "Little Dancer"
Kimberly Smith has quite a few new canvases out, and once again it is hard to pick a favorite.   I finally settled on the bird and flower piece above but it was a hard choice!
http://www.bedeckedandbeadazzled.com/Products/?category=260



Patti Mann Does Wizard of Oz AND The Mummy

Choosing from Patti Mann's newest was so hard I gave up and picked two ornaments!

So what were YOUR favorites?

A Pincushion Homage (Arlene Cohen)

Arlene's Pincushion and Ribbons

Recently Arlene and I realized she'd never shared her red and white pincushion with Blog.  She exhibited this at the 2013 ANG Seminar and won two major ribbons for it, too.    This is an original design, worked in sections on linen and assembled according to the plan Arlene worked out for it.

Arlene wrote this about the photographs she sent me:

"What a thrill that a long awaited book has finally been published!  In 2011, an extraordinary exhibit of 651 red and white quilts, all collected by Mrs. Joanna Rose, was on display in the Park Avenue Armory in New York City for six days.  It is an amazing collection and was an amazing display of it and I was so very fortunate to be able to see it in person.

We needleworkers find our inspiration in all sorts of places – sometimes in the beauty of a design created by others and sometimes in the stunning display of work in another (but related) medium.  Attending that exhibit and the ability to allow it to “live on” with me through an iPad app at the time, I evolved into the planning and creation of a needlework piece.  

Sadly, the iPad app stopped working a few IOS upgrades ago and it is no longer even available in the App store. But, lucky for us, the book of all the quilts, with some wonderful accompanying essays, has finally been published!  Getting it in my hands has encouraged me to share a bit about my pincushion project all over again.  I entered this in the 2013 ANG Exhibit in Anaheim and was thrill when it won both a first place ribbon (for Adapation, Non-Professional) and the Small Masterpiece ribbon that year."





I found a series of photographs of the quilts that inspired the pincushion on display here.
http://www.aiga.org/justified-2012--case-study--infinite-variety/




Here is the book Arlene refers to.
http://www.amazon.com/Red-White-Quilts-Infinite-Presented/dp/0847846520





Here's Arlene's Artist Statement that she wrote for the ANG Exhibit.

A Pincushion Homage to
Infinite Variety:  Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts

In March of 2011, I walked into the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, lookedp and all around, and was simply amazed.  Six hundred and fifty-one red and white quilts collected by Joanna S. Rose were on display in the most creative and stunning quilt exhibit that I have ever seen.  Along with the thousands of other visitors who poured into the Armory during those five days the display was up, I was simply enthralled.

Even while still there, I knew that I wanted to find a way, in my own needlework, to relive and reinterpret the experience.  In the days that followed, I was able to revisit each quilt individually since the organizers had created an iPad app for all to download and enjoy.  Yes, it was such a unique experience to have witnessed the display, but I also recognized the beauty of each individual piece, be it humble or dazzling.

I was not alone in my reaction and response to this truly extraordinary exhibit.    In the two years since, I have read about a number of quilt guilds that were inspired by this show and created their own red and white quilt challenges.  I am not really a quilter.  How then might I create a way to pay homage to this quilt exhibit using needle and thread?  I began to make sketches in a graph-paper notebook, breaking down many of the quilt designs to penciled-in squares. What to do with these graphed designs?  I imagined something simple, in keeping with the spirit of the collector and most likely the quilt makers themselves.  Mrs. Rose found most of these quilts in flea markets decades ago. As written in the exhibit’s materials, these quilts “are not prizewinners at fairs nor ones that have been passed down in families, cherished by several generations.  They are, rather, ordinary coverings, the creators largely anonymous, their provenance obscure, not meant for company beds or best use.”

In my needlework, I enjoy working on a small scale.  And so I chose the humble pincushion as the means to gather and recreate some of my favorite geometric designs from the quilts in the Armory display.  A small sampling from that magnificent exhibit, it is my homage both to the quilts and to their makers.

In the design process, I began by looking carefully at all 651 quilts on that iPad app, spending hours studying the entire collection and making a list of those that caught my eye both for the inherent beauty of their design and their geometric qualities. I narrowed my list to about fifty quilts, took screenshots of them, and printed them on paper.  This allowed me to see them all at the same time, with papers spread all around me in an array. 

Somewhere in my research on pincushions, I happened upon a hexagon shaped design, familiar to me as a quilt pattern often called Grandmothers Flower Garden, and the vision of the three-dimensional end product began to take shape.  I began to draw quilt designs on graph paper, some lending themselves to the hexagon shapes for the top of the pincushion and some better left for the rectangular sides.  I graphed many more than I knew I could use, although did not graph all fifty that were printed.

Finding the right thread was its own challenge.  The precise shade of red and the requisite fineness for the 32 count linen fabric were my guiding principles.  After some trial and error, I settled on a Gutermann silk thread.  I started with the hexagons on top using mostly cross stitches, anxious for the vision in my head to come to life on fabric.  However, even as I stitched, I knew it just didn’t look right:  I was stitching the hexagons right next to one another.  As at the Armory display, the layout of the individual pieces was critical – it might enhance or, in this case, detract from the overall effect.

Wisely, I set this pincushion project aside for several months.  The graphed designs held my imagination, but it would take some time before I could commit my mind and my fingers to taking up that red thread again and starting over from the beginning.

But, commit my mind and my fingers I did.  Spreading out the hexagons made all the difference for visual breathing room on the top.  I then realized that the diamond shaped areas in each “corner” of the hexagon needed attention.  There was already enough variety in the hexagons on the top and so I chose to stitch a simple skipped cross stitch to fill each diamond. When I began stitching the rectangles for the sides of the pincushion, I realized the size I had planned was just wrong.  If I stitched them as I originally intended, the height of the pincushion would be out of scale to the width.  At this point, I decided to make a three-dimensional paper mock-up of the finished product. The graphs of the rectangular sides show how my thinking evolved.

I knew how I wanted all these pieces to come together, but I struggled to make the finishing of my little pincushion precise and crisp. Then again, a pincushion is supposed to be a functional item and sometimes function and beauty can go hand in hand in less than precise ways.

To this day, I am intrigued and fascinated by the magnificent exhibit that inspired me to create this piece.  From time to time, I search on the internet to see if the vague plans for a future mounting of the exhibit or a forthcoming book have come to fruition.  The answer for now is not yet.


My pincushion is my homage to Mrs. Rose’s collection of red and white quilts and the extraordinary exhibit of them.


Thanks for sharing, Arlene!

A Custom "Starry Nights"

Lorraine at Colour Complements has come up with a custom autumn color set for Laura Perin's "Starry Nights" chart. It's a stunner, particularly if you love harvest colors of greens, golds, reds, oranges and touches of blue and pink.
http://colourcomplements.com/2015/09/starry-nights.html

The threads are Lorraine's own so you'll have to get the chart from Laura, but that's easy to do.  Just head to her website.

200 Different Thread Colors

Sometimes when I am working on a stitch guide I look at the 30-40 different items I've used and think I have gone a bit overboard. Turns out I am a serious beginner when it comes to using a lot of different threads! Mary Corbet is about to start a project that uses 200 different flosses.  Yep, I'm a rank amateur!
http://www.needlenthread.com/2015/09/how-to-organize-thread-for-large-needlework-projects.html

The way she plans to organize her threads looks very logical, although expensive.  But if you do a lot of this kind of thing, you'll definitely want to look into Annie's Keepers.
http://www.annieskeepers.com

By the way, Traditional Stitches is a great online shop if you are Canadian and Nordic Needle is amazing if you are in the United States.

Traveling with Needlework

Nupur of the Song of My Needle blog shows how she travels with her needlework.  It's really quite compact and clever!
http://thesongofmyneedle.blogspot.com/2015/09/traveling-with-my-needlework.html

I think the travel tube is meant for blueprints.  I found very similar ones here, some of which telescope to hold larger/smaller items.

Breaking News: Christine's Osterville Needlepoint Has Been Sold

Posted on Facebook today:

Dear Fellow Needlepointers,
With mixed emotions, after 29 + years, I have sold my retail store to Joyce Gresh, one of our customers. I have so enjoyed meeting and working with you all through the years. My love of needlepoint continues to this day. It has been a true pleasure starting the store in 1986 and watching it grow - adding new fibers and designers over the years and moving to our current location.

Joyce will be using our original name "Osterville Needlepoint Shop" so continue to visit when you are on the Cape. Vicki and Barbara are still there to assist you.

I am going to devote more time to my husband, needlepointing, and my wholesale business "CBK Needlepoint Collections". The wholesale operation has moved from the loft area to the lower level so feel free to visit (follow the blue handrail in the back of the building).

Thank you for all of your years of support and I wish you all the best.
Christine Kesten
