Melita and her local stitching guild are working the American Needlepoint Guild's 2016 Stitch of the Month (SOTM) project. Melitia decided to do hers in shades of red instead of the original golden yellows. She posted a list of her chosen red threads on her blog and showed the difference working the Amadeus stitch on alternate sides or one side at a time makes. It's almost as much fun as being part of Melita's chapter to read her blog.

Brenda also has posted her list of threads for this project. She's going blue!

If you are not familiar with ANG's Stitch of the Month projects and stitch diagrams, here is the entire set since 1998 on their website. It is a fabulous resource!

| Sheena's New Storage Unit from Ikea |
Sheena of Sheena's Sweet Stitches saw a wonderful storage system at Ruth Schmuff's new quarters and immediately picked up a similar set for herself at her local Ikea. It is called the Alex and comes in black, white and gray (although the online store only seems to have the gray and white.) It is around 26 inches high and wide and almost 19 inches deep.

Sheena says these are made of particle board and are well made. They have to be assembled but she says the instructions are good. She sent me a photo of her set assembled but it isn't yet in place in the closet she uses for needlepoint storage.
Ikea has a huge variety of these drawer units. They are a very good storage option if you have the space for one of the sizes Ikea carries.

Thanks very much for sharing, Sheena!
