BREAKING NEWS: Stitchers Paradise in Miami Closes

Stitchers Paradise has closed! Rats! They were in the Doral section of Miami and I always planned to visit them when visiting family who live nearly.  But I've missed my chance as the owners want to retire and were unable to find a buyer for their business.

Their page about frames and stands was one of the best out there for folks who were in the market but didn't have a local shop where they could see them in person.  I am grateful that has been available over the years.  Many thanks and best wishes for a fun and fulfilling retirement!

"The Many Paths Up the Needlepointing Mountain"

I've seen a lot of online shop profiles over the years but none as well written as this one. The author profiles a group of Louisiana needlepoint shops beautifully and gives a little flavor of what needlepoint is today.

Kudos to Country Roads Magazine and to the author, Lorin Gaudin.

The Shenandoah Valley Tapestry

Mary Corbet talks about the Shenandoah Valley Tapestry in this very interesting blog posting.

I am embarrassed to say this is the first I've heard of this project, and I live in the Shenandoah Valley!
