More Genius at Work

This morning I have a video that Kreinik posted on their Facebook page with a genius idea for the rug under a Christmas tree.

Sally Baer of BB Needlepoint came up with the rug idea.  It's chain stitch with a loop edge that was cut, all in Kreinik.

BB Needlepoint Ruches Kreinik Ribbon

Sally Baer of BB Needlepoint demonstrated how to ruche Kreinik ribbon (she used the holographic gold) to make flower centers for a stocking from her line.  Doesn't get any easier or prettier than this!

Embellishing a Forest

Kreinik published this video interview with Sally Baer of BB Needlepoint on the Kreinik Facebook account. I think you can see it whether you have a FB account or not. It's worth watching to listen to a master at embellishing NP canvases describe how it was done on her design "In The Woods" and see some of the new threads that were used.  The techniques Sally describes are wonderful.  Her website is the second link.
