A History Lesson—and a Warning

Anna Pearson's latest blog posting is about how much we love stitching flowers, but it has a warning at the end we should all pay attention to.

All is not lost if you forget and set fire to your needlepoint, though.  Here is how I repaired deliberate vandalism on a canvas.

Breaking News from All Over

Lots of news appeared on Facebook yesterday.  

First, as of today, June 30, 2018, Painted Pony is no longer distributing Greek licensed sorority and fraternity products. However, most of these designs will still be available from another company that is in the process of obtaining the official licensing and will add Painted Pony's Greek designs, including their sorority angels, to their collection.  For right now, there will be a pause in the distribution of such canvases but eventually customers should be able to purchase most of the designs.  Keep an eye out for an announcement from the new licensee.

The Needlepoint Clubhouse is moving July 24.  The new address is in Kirkwood, MO instead of St. Louis.  Watch their Facebook page for more details.

Barbara's Needlepoint has purchased the Under The Rainbow line of canvases so the original designer (Jane Monroe) can retire.  The shop has posted three sets of photos of the first designs they are bringing back on their Facebook page.  These are on 18 count with different backgrounds.

Medici on Film

Needle Works has posted a video of the dimensional needle felted cat named Medici (after the shop cat) that Brenda Stofft has designed and which Brenda will teach in the shop this September.  It's pretty amazing! I don't usually post about classes but this is so astounding that I wanted everyone to see it.
