Kimberly shows off her newest designs and sketches that might turn into painted canvases on her blog and asks what catches your eye so that you actually buy?

I guess what I liked is obvious.

How Long is the Wrong Question

Mrs. Blandings point out that how long a piece of needlepoint takes isn't the right question.
http://www.mrsblandings.com/2016/01/stitchandtime/

The right question is Why haven't you taken up needlepoint?

Rembrandt, After 35 Years

Thanks to Victori-Anne, I have a fun newspaper article for you to read about a lady who stitched one of Rembrandt's paintings over a 35 year span.

Trend Spotting: More Elves from Sheena UPDATED

Raymond Crawford

Because of the heavy snow we got last week, I didn't get all the new elf canvases Sheena's spotted at the Winter 2016 TNNA show mentioned on the article I wrote with her help. I even found some myself.  So here are more elves!  The photo above of elves with Santa's sled is from Raymond Crawford.  There are three single elves that are similar on his website in case you want to stitch the entire set for Christmas display.  Wouldn't this be cute sitting on a buffet for the holidays?
http://www.raymondcrawford.com/designs/whatsnew/

Debbie Mumm's Elves from Christmas Village

Debbie Mumm has a Christmas Village set (bottom of the page in the link below) that includes three little elf characters.  Sheena's favorites are shown above.
http://melissashirleydesigns.com/gallery/?bsn=1

Princess and Me Booth Shot

The Princess & Me hasn't updated their website but Sheena spotted this darling elf holding Christmas presents in a photograph of their Market booth.  There may be a second elf hiding behind Mrs. Santa.   I'm not sure....

Pepperberry's North Pole Elf

Elves with presents seems to be a theme.  Pepperberry also has an elf with wrapped packages. The shoes and the title of "North Pole Elf" are a dead giveaway, don't you think?
http://www.pepperberry-designs.com/whats-new/

I hope you've enjoyed all the elves from Market.  Thanks, Sheena!

UPDATE:  I'd forgotten Ada did elves before they were trendy.  Glad to hear more are on the way!

The House Hunt Mystery (Ruth Schmuff, Tapestry Fair and Pat Scheurich)

Ruth Schmuff has started her winter mystery class, which features "House Hunt" from Pat Scheurich/Tapestry Fair.  The canvas shows birds checking out a birdhouse amongst the flowers and it is perfect for Ruth's light touch.  Look carefully at the background. It's amazing!
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2016/01/nuances.html

Ruth has added the birdhouse and done one blooming vine.
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2016/01/a-sparkling-home-for-birds.html?fb_ref=Default

Now flowers are in bloom!  I love the various textures.
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2016/02/flowers-from-my-garden.html

And for the final touch--beads and crewel!
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2016/02/sparkling-birdies-and-pink-flowers.html

Here are two finished House Hunts, both framed.  The choice of frame really makes a difference.

X-Stitch App for Inventory Control

Linda K. Reinmuller just posted this to the ANG email list in response to a question about thread inventory apps.  I am reprinting it here with Linda's permission.  For those of you who don't know Linda, she's a wonderful counted canvaswork designer with a special interest in computer design and charting programs.  Her blog (link on her website) has a lovely list of available stitch charting programs at the bottom of the page, by the way.

Thanks, Linda!

**********************************************************

I just got X-Stitch App by PerformTech Ltd. It is $2.99.  

[Jane:  Here's the links to the app on the iTunes store and the Google Play store.]
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/x-stitch-app/id906882968?mt=8

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.performtec.XStitch&hl=en

It has a lot of thread manufacturers listed, and from what I can tell also lists all the threads in that manufacturers colors, although I haven't checked every single one. The promo info claims it has 6000 thread selections that can be added.

It can also be used to add charts and linens to inventory. From looking at it, this can be adapted to canvas.

I have no affiliation with this other than being a techno-geek who tries to keep up with all the fabulous ways I can use technology to enhance my stitching.

Spreadsheets are straight forward, but it is always fun to have a new app to play with, and this one does appear to be very user friendly.

Trend Spotting: Sheena's Elves

Sheena James of Sheena's Sweet Stitches noticed another trend that totally escaped me among the huge number of new canvases debuting at the TNNA Winter 2016 show in San Diego--elves!

Mary Engelbreit 

Like everyone else, I was charmed by this elf and birds canvas from Mary Engelbreit.  This is distributed by Painted Pony, by the way.

Santa's Workshop Set, from Danji

A lot of shops noticed Danji's Santa's Workshop set, which naturally has elves!  Here are slightly larger photos of the boy and girl elf unstitched--

Danji Elves Up Close

Cute, aren''t they?  Alice Peterson also has elves.  Sheena found these although I don't see them on the Alice Peterson website yet.

Alice Peterson's Elves

The best part of the elves from Alice Peterson and Dani is that they appear to be rather small.  They will make a quick, fun stitch!

Patience Brewster/Kate Dickerson "Vixen's Painter Elf"

Kate Dickerson's elves are larger and more elaborate.  Don't you just love his paintbrush and oversized hat!  The elf above is from Patience Brewster's art, licensed by Kate for needlepoint canvas.  You can see more of Patience's whimsical pieces, some of whom are elves, at the Kate Dickerson website.
http://www.katedickerson.com/#!patience-brewster/c45o

The Elf from Labors of Love

After Sheena alerted me to the new elf invasion, I found another myself.  This little chubby guy is from Labors of Love.  Love his peppermint stick striped background!

Christmas Stockings from Morocco UPDATED

Jan  has designed two Christmas stockings she'll be stitching for family members in 2016.  If you are familiar with Jan's work designing Iranian or Moroccan-style rugs as Thread Medley, you will certainly want to follow her as she works on these, Heck, regardless, you'll want to bookmark her blog so you can watch her create Moroccan Christmas stockings.

Leigh Designs Goes to Market UPDATED

Leigh's Seashore Santas in Deux Bijoux Bijoux Double Tray

Leigh Design's monthly newsletter is out and it is full of news from the San Diego TNNA Market.
http://www.leighdesigns.com/News/

I assembled as many links as I could find to the things Leigh mentioned in the newsletter.  Her Deux Bijoux Bijoux tray, complete with Seashore Santas, that a shop took home is pictured above since I know it's not on the DBB website yet.

UPDATE:  Deux Bijoux Bijoux has updated their website with all the new trays, frames and such that came out during the San Diego show.
http://www.deuxbijouxbijoux.com/category_26/Needlepoint-Gallery.htm

You can see the four available Santas who are at the beach and the crowns Leigh mentions on her website.  I believe four more Santas in this set will appear in June at the TNNA summer show.
http://www.leighdesigns.com

Here is Nenah Stone's longhorn.  While I was searching for it, I discovered there is a similar stocking (second link below).

http://www.yarnbarnsa.com/needlepoint-canvas/hand-painted-needlepoint-canvas-nenah-stone-ch83-longhorn-santa-stocking/

I don't think Strictly Christmas has an online presence but I did find a sock monkey with Christmas tree on eBay that is cuter than cute.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Strictly-Christmas-Sock-Monkey-with-Tree-Handpainted-Needlepoint-Canvas-/121781568892

You can read about the newest StitchPlay books on Michael Boren and Carole Lake's website.
http://www.stitchplay.com/index.html

Rainbow Gallery hasn't updated their website yet but you can see the Entice, Capri and Silk Lame colors from this fall there.
http://www.rainbowgallery.com/whatsnew.cfm

Leigh's already told you how dangerous it is to get anywhere near Hug Me bags.  But if you are feeling brave, here is their website.  The pretty red Passport fabric is on the right side, third row from the bottom.
http://www.hugmebags.com/styles.php

I didn't find a photograph but you can read about the Stumpwork Implement Kit from Access Commodities here.
http://www.accesscommodities.com/blog/function-designed

Here is a bit about the Spanish style gold work class Leigh mentions.  For more of her jaw-dropping work, visit her blog in the second link below.

My Favorites from the TNNA SHOW Winter 2016 UPDATED

Nancy Coffelt's "Squirrel"

Once again I have a list of personal favorites that are debuting at the show in San Diego. First is the modern patterned squirrel by Nancy Coffelt of Quail Run. I love the contrast between the squirrel's patterned skin and the traditional William Morris-style background.
https://www.facebook.com/QuailRunNeedlework/photos/np.1448288574607869.1277706333/1030291717020991/?type=3

Otto Agular's "Adriana"

Purple Palm Designs has put more of Otto Agular's pieces on needlepoint canvas. My current favorite is this portrait called "Adriana."
https://www.facebook.com/PurplePalmDesigns/photos/pb.796107397085912.-2207520000.1449540467./1154942887869026/?type=3&theater

Maggie's "Wag the Dog"

This Maggie from her mandala series really charms me!  I wonder if the wagging tail is the spinning center?
https://www.facebook.com/586677101438535/photos/np.1451487674046208.1277706333/755231171249793/?type=3&theater

"Queen of the Night," from Barbara Elmore Designs

I like more animal canvases this year than I expected.  Isn't this Barbara Elmore/Sundance canvas, done from Carolyn Schmitz's artwork, spectacular?  This is "Queen of the Night."  There are several new Schmitz designs in Barbara's line for Sundance but this one is my favorite.
https://www.facebook.com/barbaraelmoredesigns/photos/np.1451863247831739.1277706333/10153392026758262/?type=3&theater

Raymond Crawford's "Cardinal"

This cardinal from Raymond Crawford is also a charmer.  There are a whole series of small birds in the same style from Raymond, but this is my favorite.
https://www.facebook.com/190891389362/photos/a.191172709362.156684.190891389362/10153938322529363/?type=3&theater

Kathy Schenkel Mini Socks

Kathy Schenkel has new mini socks with matching felt inserts.  The little fox hunting stocking is my favorite because my county hosts the Blue Ridge Hunt, but the various drinks mini socks are fun.
https://www.facebook.com/239767049406916/photos/a.239775349406086.74577.239767049406916/1057370204313259/?type=3&theater

Tapestry Fair's Menorah, in Various Sizes

Tapestry Fair has some wonderful new things this year.  I was particularly struck by their Menorah design, which comes in several sizes, including a stocking, smaller section canvases, and individual light designs as you can see from the photo taken from their trade show booth.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10207758120698605&set=a.10204421121315706.1073741829.1461313530&type=3&theater

Tapestry Fair's Desert Landscape

I'm also taken with Tapestry Fair's desert landscape with woodpecker.
https://www.facebook.com/189965167681135/photos/a.1135388579805451.1073741848.189965167681135/1135616486449327/?type=3&theater

Asian Woman and Phoenix

Everyone knows I'm a sucker for Asian-themed canvases and the new ones (there are at least four I saw) from the Meredith Collection (formerly Elizabeth Turner Collection) are lovely. This is my favorite.

Both Sides of the dede Odgen Wizard

Turning from realistic canvases to fantasy ones, I really like this dede Odgen double-sided wizard.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1128841063800853&set=pcb.979636852113473&type=3&theater

Scott Church's Snow Puffin

I'm also quite fond of this "snow" bird from Scott Church Creative/CBK.  It's a charming mix of realism and whimsy.
http://pocketfullofstitches.blogspot.com/2016/01/tnna-winter-market-day-2.html

"Woodland Princess" by Vicki Sawyer/Melissa Shirley

Vicki Sawyer has created several wonderful new pieces for Melissa Shirley Designs but because we have deer in Chilly Hollow, I thought I'd showcase this one.
http://melissashirleydesigns.com/gallery/?index=8154&cat=70

Who Created Me?

My final favorite is a mystery as the one shop that showed off this artist's work didn't identify the designer. There were at least ten designs in the same style.   This. like all the others I saw from the same hand, is a sketch, not a canvas, and it is hard to say what it will look like on the medium of needlepoint canvas, but I like the fact that it conveys the joy of playing on a sunny beach so well.  If anyone knows who created this, please let me know so I can credit them.

UPDATE:  Martin knows all!  The little girl on the beach is from Patti Mann.  Martin found this booth shot that shows all the designs in this series.
https://www.facebook.com/586677101438535/photos/pb.586677101438535.-2207520000.1453206995./768171243289119/?type=3&theater

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Trend Spotting: Carolyn Hedge Baird

One of the things I love to do when the trade shows roll around is play Spot the Trend, but Carolyn Hedge Baird beat me to it this year. In her triple roles as shop representative/teacher/stitch guide writer, she pays close attention to recurring themes.  The Winter 2016 TNNA show in San Diego is no exception but what Carolyn noticed escaped me entirely--lots of new and realistic portraits of donkeys!

Of course many Nativity sets have always had donkeys in them, like Kelly Clark's donkey for her pretty set....
http://www.kellyclarkneedlepoint.com/canvas/kcn-215-nt-stitched

...or the Tapestry Tent donkey from Liz' set...
http://nimbleneedlenj.com/product/tapestry-tent-handpainted-needlepoint-canvas-nativity-donkey-christmas-creche/

.... and there's Debbie Mumm's wonderful "Donkey, Sheep, Hen."
http://melissashirleydesigns.com/galsearch/index.cgi?index=1383777668_19771&col=

But this time the portraits are not part of a set, but a stand alone portrait of these animals.  Nenah Stone Designs is in the forefront of the trend with this sweet burro ornament.
http://www.nenahstonedesigns.com/christmas/christmas_ornaments_ii

Nenah Stone "Cardinal Donkey"

Nenah has done a larger portrait with her "Poinsettia Donkey" which is a cross between a Christmas piece and a Southwestern design.
http://www.nenahstonedesigns.com/christmas/christmas

Nenah Stone "Poinsettia Donkey"

Purple Palm designs has a brand new design from Sharon Weiser that shows a charming mother and baby donkey together with her signature purple tints.
http://purplepalmdesigns.com/?product_cat=sharons-designs

Sharon Weiser's "Donkeys" from Purple Palm Designs

Elizabeth Turner Collection Portrait 

The final donkey portrait is from Elizabeth Turner Collection (now renamed the Meredith Collection).  It adds to their "Down on the Farm" series with a whimsical look at the viewer and an acid green background that is just perfect.
http://www.elizabethturnercollection.com/needleptDesigns_pillow_2.html

I'm sure you can see why Carolyn has crowned this the Year of the Donkey.  (Since it is a Presidential Election Year, I think I prefer to think of it as the Year of the Jackass.)

But whether politicians are getting to you or not, I think you'll agree this is a great new trend! Thanks for your sharp eyes, Carolyn!

Those who want to see more of what Carolyn spotted at Market should check out her Facebook page.

Iman Stitches

In the midst of articles about the death of David Bowie this week, sharp-eyed needlepointers have noticed mentioned of needlepoint.
http://www.eonline.com/news/730322/inside-david-bowie-and-iman-s-enduring-love-story

You can see a teddy bear pillow Iman stitched for her daughter some years ago here.

I hope her stitching is comforting as she starts to adjust to life without her husband.

Mobile Tool Solutions

Someone asked on Facebook for ideas for portable storage ideas for threads and tools. There are a ton of stitchers happy to help out. Here is Mary's favorite--The Fold and Go Notions Box.
http://www.knitpicks.com/accessories/Knit_Happy_Fold_n_Go_Notions_Boxes__Dfoldngonotionsboxes.html

I love storing threads and tools in the smaller sizes of Ashland Sky bags, my stitch guide or small books into the Project Bag, then everything plus my canvas on its stretcher bars into the Classic Tote.
http://www.leighdesigns.com/AS-Home.html

If you don't need the waterproof protection of the Ashland Sky bag, the Walker Bag mesh totes are very useful.
http://www.needlepointtooltime.com/product/1114MC

http://www.needlepointtooltime.com/product/Walker

If you just want a tool case, Needlepoint Tool Time has you covered with this.  Sorry, you have to supply the tools!
http://www.needlepointtooltime.com/product/Yazzii

This should get you started finding the right portable storage item for your next travel adventure with stitching in tow.

Embroiderers to the Royal Family

I fought you'd enjoy watching this video profile of Hand and Lock that Susan Elliott of Plays with Needles fame posted the link to.  The company is famous for their gold work, couture embroidery and military insignia.  Amazing to think that hand embroidery is still a viable profession in the 21st Century!

Curved Beading Needles?

I just discovered that Needlepoint Tool Time carries something I'd never heard of--curved beading needles from John James.  I can't tell from the photo if the points are blunt or sharp, but if you like scooping beads onto a needle (particularly if you are adding a string of beads to your canvas), you'll want to ask Needlepoint Tool Time for further information about these.  They appear to be size 10, which should go through a size 11 bead well.  They may not work with size 14-15 beads.  Bead sizes aren't standard and some brands have larger holes than others.

Off to Market

The TNNA trade show for Winter 2016 opens tomorrow in San Diego so a lot of shops are closed as the owners head off to see (and order) from all the wonderful new things the folks who create tools, painted canvases, embellishments, threads and of course books have prepared.   There are several good places to sit and watch for new goodies.  I'll list the URLs below so you can bookmark them.  

The Needle Works promises to post on their blog starting Saturday evening and if they can they will update their Facebook page (second link below).  You probably can see their Facebook page without having an account.
http://www.stitchinginthetexashillcountry.com/the_needle_works/2016/01/happy-new-yearand-we-are-off.html

https://www.facebook.com/TheNeedleWorksTX/

Vicky De Angelis promises to post on her blog, too.
http://mostlyneedlepoint.com/to-market-to-market-i-go-4/

Amy's Golden Strand is going all out using her Facebook page.  Amy promises contests and even plans to post photos of new items from folks who aren't going to be at the San Diego show.
https://www.facebook.com/Amys-Golden-Strand-189965167681135/

Finally, I will continue to update the TNNA Winter 2016 San Diego tab here on Blog with the latest news.  Newest items are on top with today's items in Red.
http://chillyhollownp.blogspot.com/p/destination-dallas-2013.html

With all this help I am sure you will have a great deal of fun seeing the show from the comfort of your favorite chair!

Pocket Full of Stitches has posted all the Mary Engelbreit canvases that Painted Pony will introduce in January on their blog.  I think some of these will be delivered before January to the shops.  Have fun picking your favorite!  (Mine's ME-BH02 if you are wondering what to get me for my birthday.)
