Stitching to Netflix UPDATED AGAIN

Lycette Designs has started a series on her blog about Netflix series she likes to stitch to.

This is a hard question for me as I like to watch a lot of things on Netflix but not all are suitable for stitch-a-longs.  The ideal program is an old favorite (Numb3rs, Poirot, Personal of Interest, Lie to Me,  Galaxy Quest, Groundhog Day, Leverage, Bones, Star Trek, Firefly, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) where I don't have to continuously watch the screen to keep up with the action, but can listen while my eyes are on my stitching.

P.S.  Click on "Gallery" to see Lycette's needlepoint canvases.

UPDATE:  Stitch to Gilmore Girls--and avoid morphine.

Stitching Glass with Help From Mary and Suzanne

Mary Legallet has been writing a fascinating series of articles on how to stitch glass during March.  I put them all in the Tutorials and Tips tab but I wanted to mention them here, too.  I know they'll be very useful for all those windows, mirrors, tableware and other glassy areas we need to stitch.

Bookmark or put Mary's blog in your feed.  In April she's talking about borders!

By the way, sometimes you can have too much information.  If you just want a quick idea for glass, visit Suzanne's blog.
