Breaking News: Needle Graphics is Retiring

Debbie Woodward of Painted Pony just announced that the owner of Needle Graphics (now distributed by Painted Pony) is retiring.

We are announcing the retirement of our Needle Graphics' line and its creator, Kathy Wallace. All of our Needle Graphics canvases are now discounted at 50%. This includes lots of Christmas and Halloween designs, as well as her college rounds, hearts and Santas. 
PLEASE NOTE: we will no longer accept orders for NG canvases we do not have in-stock (this includes college pieces). We will only accept orders for canvases currently available in our inventory.
While I’m happy to tell and show you availability and send you names of your closest shops, please contact your LNS for pricing questions.
We have made arrangements to purchase several of her designs and will incorporate them into the PPD line by this fall. We will publish a list of design availability at that time. Please be aware that we are not planning to continue with the college canvases, so stock up while they are in stock!

Bobbin and Fred Interviews Jenny Henry and Talks Stitch Club

The younger needlepoint designers are starting to band together and stitch together, which is a great idea!  I don't know what they are doing with the Needlepoint Designers Challenge Group but that will be revealed later.  For now, let's get to know the group, starting with Jenny Henry.

If you keep reading you'll learn about how Stitch Club started in Chicago via Instagram and is evolving as a way for needlepointers and other stitchers to meet and stitch with other folks in their geographic area.  If you are interested in seeing if there is a Stitch Club in your area, look on Instagram or email stitchclubofficial@gmail.com.
