If you want to know where the shop is located exactly because you'll be near Hilton Head soon, or if you just like browsing shops from afar, you'll find the Needlepoint Junction website here.  Don't miss "Latest News."

Stitches for Water

The latest shop e-newsletter from Needlepoint for Fun talks about two stitches to use for water.
http://www.needlepoint-for-fun.com/needlepoint-stitches-for-water.htm

The stitch they call Water Stitch was created by David McCaskill and is on the ANG website's Stitch of the Month section if you are a member and can log in to see it.  I've used it to great effect but it is easier to work in my opinion if you turn the stitch and canvas a quarter turn and work it in vertical rows instead of horizontal ones.
