Designers Desk has started posting images of the last Dora canvases they have in stock. I am a big fan, and have loved every photograph, even if I can't buy them all.

Dora was a portrait painter in Hungary from what I understand, and her needlepoint canvas portraits are stunning. I am not certain if she's retired or has died, but with Designers Desk for sale (the owner wants to retire--how dare you, Pat!) this may be your last chance to score one of these beauties for your stash. And it may be the last glimpse you'll see of such many of Dora's canvases.

Needlepoint for Fun explains how to repair a small cut on canvas with dental floss.

I've never repaired a cut canvas this way (although it looks like a good sturdy repair for a small area). I prefer the patch method, which I demonstrated in the link below. I feel it is best for an item that will get some wear, such as a pillow or even a chair seat.

Whichever route you take, your needlepoint will be ok again. No one will ever know!
