Gay Ann Roger's E-Week Sale Begins UPDATE

If you like feminine designs and you love charts, set your alarm clock for 8 a.m. California time! Gay Ann Roger's E-Week sale is about to begin!
http://www.gayannrogers.com

Gay Ann Rogers only sells her counted canvaswork designs around three times a year and we won't know what is included in the sale until it starts except we do know that the bride/groom hearts are included.

UPDATE:  Remember that the Surprise Windows start on Saturday, October 13.  There are always interesting things for sale, and this year Gay Ann is selling pieces of Hoiton Lace as a way of encouraging interest in this needle art.

How to Finish a Yarmulke

Needle Paint has a fun article on their blog that explains how to finish a yarmulke.  I'm not Jewish but I bet this idea could be adapted for a little needlepoint cap for a teddy bear.  It's also just interesting to see how the round cap is created out of a flat needlepoint canvas.  I particularly like the idea of using bias tape around the edge to create a smooth finish that won't catch hair when worn.
