Autumn Logs' Special Limited Edition Colors

If you are a fan of counted needlepoint, or just want to try a charted project on needlepoint canvas, you may be interested in the limited edition colors dyed for Needle Delights's "Autumn Logs."  The threads are from Colour Complements and the kit is available from their website.  You'll need to get the canvas and chart separately.

Here is what the original colors look like.  As you can see, the Color Complements colors are richer with more blue, purple, brown and gold.  You can buy the chart only from the Needle Delights website, too.

Learning to Curve Bullions

Ruth Schmuff's mystery class for Summer 2019 was the "White Cat" from Johanna Virtanen.  One of the flowers in this lesson needs curved bullions so Ruth made a How To Video.

If you don't already own any bullion needles,  and your favorite shop doesn't carry them, here's an online source.  Bullion needles come in either blunt or sharp points and in a variety of lengths.
