Donna posted a fun update about the 2015 edition of Jo I. Christensen's Needlepoint Book--she shows off the colored photo of the piece she contributed for the book that is black and white inside its pages. Who knew the colors were so pretty!? Thanks, Donna. It's fun to see more of the amazing needlepoint that illustrates the book.

Needlepoint Portraits from Maria E. Peneres UPDATED
Thanks to Amy's sharp eyes, I have an interesting article on the needlepoint portraitist Maria E. Pineres to share this morning. She takes photos of her subjects, adjusts and manipulates the photograph using PhotoShop, and then stitches the piece on needlepoint canvas. Her website, second link below, shows more portraits and her gallery schedule.
