Bedecked and Beadazzled's Makeover

Ruth Schmuff has had a needlepoint store of some kind for 25 years.  How does she celebrate?  She gives her website a makeover!  I suggest you start exploring here where you can see how a Halloween cruise can go terrible wrong, watch the robots rebel, check out Cleopatra's blonde era, and admire a 1920s Art Deco movie star.

But don't stop there.  There is a lot to see and much temptation to avoid!  Plus Ruth has a Tips and Techniques page you do not want to miss.

Congratulations on 25 years of needlepoint, Ruth!  Here's to 25 more!!!

Pumpkin Harlequin: Margaret King's Mystery Class

Ruth Schmuff has started her Fall 2026 mystery class, with Margaret King's "Pumpkin Harlequin."

As Ruth says, it's "not your average pumpkin."

The Harlequin Pumpkin has a harlequin-patterend blackwork pattern for a background, matte yellow beads on the letters, and the cutest nose and cheeks!

Mr. Harlequin has a ruffle--and it is a stunner!  Take careful note of the fact that the pumpkin sections are outlined but the edge of the pumpkin is not.  Ruth, believe it or not, showed restraint there.
