If you don't follow Sheena's blog, you will want to sign up to get notices when the newest thing goes live. She always has a wonderful stitch, great photos and a fun attitude so this is a Must Read. This week's posting is especially great for me since I adore Asian-themed canvases as she features not one but TWO great background stitches for these types of canvases.

I never would have thought to use them both in the background. They look fabulous! Thanks, Sheena.
UPDATE: Sheena adds another Asian-themed design, this time from one of Betty Chen Louis' designs.

"Tis The Gift To Be Simple"
I'm quoting the first bit of the most famous Shaker hymn because Betty Chen Louis has this gift.
http://www.gayannrogers.com/site_2/Home_Page.html
Gay Ann Rogers has posted a photograph of Betty's newest design (which might be offered as a cyberclass through the Shining Needle Society) on her website. It's a beautiful and simple view of London's skyline, done with 3-4 threads and perhaps 6 stitches. If you are interesting in taking this as a class, email Shining Needle Society at KateGaunt@aol.com. An email isn't a promise to take the class--Kate just needs to know if there is enough interest in this piece to offer it as one of the cyberclasses SNS sponsors.
Elegant, isn't it?

No Beads & Basketweave Today
I'm sure by now you are very tired of photos of beads and basketweave on Luna's gown. It takes a lot of work to look good! But getting there makes for boring blog entries. Let's go look at some other fabulous things, shall we?
French Knot has their latest newsletter out and in it they mention all the fabulous Halloween pieces on their website that come with stitch guides. I've added a brief article about this on the CH Stitch Guides blog. With Halloween in our rear window, now's the time to start on next year's fun. Luna's going to need friends, after all! (Do vampires have friends?)

LizArt has two new charts available. You can see them (and the link to the purchase site) here.

Personally, I am holding out for Liz Morrow's newest piece, Vegas Nights. The chart for it isn't ready yet as she just finished stitching it, but I think it is worth waiting for! Hurry Liz.

Lots of folks are interested in finding a sorority- or fraternity-themed painted canvas. Betsy B's got you covered. Pocket Full of Stitches shows off some of the avaialble pieces on their website. There are some new charts in stock there, too. See? I don't totally ignore the counted canvaswork lovers!

Finally, I have something beautiful and inspirational for you to see--the NeedleArtNut's Lacquered Leaves piece (designer, Betty Chen Louis) which is magnificent. If you want to watch this unfold, click on "Lacquered Leaves" in the right hand column and work from the bottom up. It's worth following. Betty Chen Louis is a fabulously creative designer. It's not often I see things I've never seen before on the Internet but this is one of those times. Great work, Pat!

NeedleArtNut also runs the Stitching Destashing Blog. She happens to have some great books for sale at very good prices, including a copy of Pageant of Pattern for $6 plus shipping. Move fast, though. She had two copies for sale last night....
