I'm sorry to say that the rumor going around that the designer Curtis Boehringer has died is true. Apparently his sister announced his death on November 17th on her Facebook page without any details except for his passing. My condolences to his family.

Need a Beach Tote for the Stitching?
Bohicket Road is starting a Kickstarter fund raiser. If you love their craft and travel organizers, you might be interested in this. Thanks for letting me know, Susan!

M.R.S. Embroidery's Trestle Frames UPDATED
Folks who live in Great Britain or who prefer trestle style frames will want to read what Kathy at The Unbroken Thread has to say about the new trestle stands from M.R. S. Embroidery.
http://www.theunbrokenthread.com/blog/2016/11/30/new-trestle-supplier-m-r-s-embroidery/
Trestle floor frames are made to lay your stretcher bars flat on top, then stitch with both hands, one above and one below the needlework. These look solid and they easily come apart to be stored flat against a wall, under a bed, or behind furniture. Nice job, Magda!
UPDATE: The shop has a Facebook page (complete with a photo of the elf who makes the frames-LOL) and will have a review from An Unbroken Thread shortly! Stay tuned….

Here's a glimpse behind the scenes while we wait for Kathy to play with her new frame and write a review.

Jane Turns Green with Envy
Today I'm really envious of Robin King who got to visit Quail Run Needlework in Scottsdale, Arizona. Actually, I'm envious of the folks in her class, too! Robin is very inspiring and inventive.
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/2017/10/robin-teaches-at-quail-run-needlework.html
Then Robin made a stop at Atlanta's Nimble Needle, to teach and of course do a little tour of the shop. Fun!
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/2017/11/robin-teaches-at-nimble-needle-atlanta.html
Of course we can always visit the shop websitse and Robin's stitch guides will be available to all of us shortly.

Don't you wish Robin needed us to carry her luggage or something?!
