Patriotic Magnets for the Olympic Stitcher

Accoutrement Designs shows off the perfect patriotic magnets for the Olympic stitcher.  If you are stitching to the Olympics you may want some of these.

Time for a Love Story

It's that time of year again! The needlepoint exhibit titled a Needlepoint Love Story is about to open again at Thistle Hill, sponsored by Historic Fort Worth.  Note that this year stitchers from Oklahoma City are taking a train to the event, stitching all the way!

There is usually a chart you can buy to commemorate each year's exhibit and raise funds.    You can see past heart ornaments here and get a sneak peak at the new one.  Use the right side arrow to seek both pictures.

The heart charts are sold at the exhibit and by local shops.

A Special Gift Idea

I just happened to see this photo of Kaffe Fassett working a puzzle someone made for him from a quilt done in his fabrics on Facebook.

I had a puzzle made from a photograph of my mother's cat for her for Christmas one year.  This is the place I used.  It never occurred to me to do a piece of needlepoint as a puzzle, though.  It would make a wonderful gift for the right person.
