A New Film is Underway

Mark Young (the creative genius behind Labors of Love) revealed on Facebook yesterday that there is a new film currently scheduled to come out next December that has needlepoint playing a small part. Here is what Mark said:
"More great exposure for needlepoint coming this year! I was asked to stitch a piece of needlepoint for a prop in a movie that is currently filming here in Atlanta. I'm prohibited from posting details about the movie but it is supposed to be out around Christmas. I had the great privilege of being on the set to watch the filming all day yesterday and to sit with the actor who is doing the needlepoint in the film to show him how to do the stitching."
So the stitcher is a guy? Sounds like Hollywood might have started to ignore some of the stereotypes around needlepoint....
I know of two movies being filmed in Atlanta currently. Stay tuned to find out more as Mark is allowed to say more.

The Loudoun Sampler Guild's Mystery Band Sampler Now Available
The Loudoun Sampler Guild lives over the mountain from me in the D.C. suburbs, where historical samplers are very popular. Some of the members are published designers in their own right, so the fact that the mystery band sampler the membership designed in 2014 is now available for sale as a fund-raiser is worthy of note. The money raised will all go to a fund established in Betty Flemming's honor to help museums acquire and preserve samplers.

If you like samplers, this offer is for you.
By the way, the contact person for purchasing the Loudoun Sampler Guild mystery band sampler is Betsy Morgan. Yes, THE Betsy Morgan of Willing Hands. She does exquisite work. This UK company showcases some of her lovely things especially well as does her blog (second link below).
