Breaking News: Death Comes to Needlepoint UPDATED

It's been a sad few days in the world of needlepoint as we have lost both Mary Agnes Ruhudy Cussen of Needle Nicely in Florida and the Needle Deeva.

http://www.needledeeva.com

I enjoyed Mary Agnes' blog where she talked about the realities of owning a needlepoint shop and I loved the fun designs that the Needle Deeva gave us.  Our sympathies to their friends and families.

UPDATE:  For those unfamiliar with Needle Deeva's work, The Needlepointer was having a trunk show when news of her death broke and made two videos of the show.  You may like to browse the designs, just to see what a talent she was.

The Retreat's on Fire!

It's July and you know what that means--plenty of classes and retreats! Shops often have retreats this time of year when the weather's good and folks can get a little time off from work to indulge themselves in a great class or two.  Ruth Schmuff had an embellishment class with ten students working from the stitch guides she devised.
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2015/07/embellishment-by-ruth.html

The Enriched Stitch invited Meredith Willet to come teach.  She's the one who suggested Suzie bring a candle and matches....
http://astheneedleturns.com/burn-baby-burn/

Pocket Full of Stitches had Laura Taylor come teach a Needle Deeva piece to the entire class.  It looks like a good time was had by all!

You can browse the tab above to see if a class, retreat or exhibit will be held near you. Or click on this link.

My Personal Favorites from TNNA Winter 2015 Part One

The Phoenix show is over and everyone has headed home happy but exhausted.   Now the shops are waiting until the orders placed at the show start to be filled.  What were your favorites?  Below are mine, listed in the order I saw them.

Dressing as a Skeleton for the Day of the Dead

I absolutely adore Tapestry Fair's newest Day of the Dead canvas.   This is "La Hermosa Sandra."   The design features a calaca, a person dressed as a skeleton for the Mexican celebration in honor of those who have passed on.   I have so many ideas on how to stitch this that I'd give up sleeping if I could pull it off, just to have the time to work this piece!  This is adapted from artwork by Manuel Salas

Tapestry Fair's Other New Manuel Salas Canvas

If this piece has too much going on, how about the other new Manuel Salas piece from Tapestry Fair?  This design is called "Chara."  The calaca is more elegant, particularly with the lace background and her amazing hat.

Barbara Elmore's Mermaid for Sundance Designs

I admire Barbara Elmore's Botticelli-style mermaid, more for the fabulous things Barbara will do with this design than anything else.  She's already started stitching on this and I can't wait to see more.

Ewe and Eye's Daffodils Still Life

I am not usually wild about Ewe and Eye and Friends' primitive style but this charming daffodils still life with birds appeals to me.  I think of spring's pleasures when I look at it, don't you?

Siamese from Labors of Love

I am charmed by the cat portraits introduced by Labors of Love this month.  They are similar to last summer's dog portraits on patterned backgrounds.  This was my favorite of the set.  Here are the dog portraits, so you can compare.
http://www.laborsofloveneedlepoint.com/see-whats-new.html

Needle Deeva's Christmas House Stitched by Mary Waldsmith

Needle Deeva does wonderful houses, so I think her latest --complete with a stitch guide by Mary Waldsmith of Owl Stitchery-- is going to be a big hit.  There is a stocking with this house and a snowman, by the way.  Mary is doing a guide for it, too.

Associate Talents' Rabbits with Patterns

Speaking of cute, Associated Talent's small patterned rabbits are too cute to be legal in all fifty states!

Pajamas and Choclate's Patchwork Cat Witch

When it comes to Halloween designs, my favorite for January 2015 is the Pajamas and Chocolate Halloween patchwork witch cat in the pumpkin patch.  (This is Patt and Lee's painted canvas line.)

Raymond Crawford's Owl

Speaking of Halloween, owl canvases continue to be popular.  My favorite at Market this time is Raymond Crawford's white owl.  Small and simple, yet elegant!  I think I could have a lot of fun with this design.

Vicki Sawyer's Snowy Owl from Melissa Shirley

Well,  the Vicki Sawyer Snowy Owl from Melissa Shirley Designs is a runner up.  It is elegant in a different style.

Peace on Earth Angel by Juli Poitras

"Elegant" seems to be what I'm looking for this Market.  This JP Needlepoint angel fits the bill, don't you think?  JP has a huge variety of lovely things but the angel caught my attention.

I'm going to continue this tomorrow as Blogger is starting to complain about all the photographs!

A. Bradley is Distributed Far and Wide

A Baby Owl for Christmas

I just heard that Chris has added A. Bradley to the stable of artists Chris Lewis distributing.  This is great news for the designers who now have the burden of painting their canvases and getting them to the shops removed from their To Do list.  All they have to do is create more fun stuff.  Ashley Bradley's stuff is very cute indeed.  See the owl stocking above?  That's in my stash, waiting for a little free time so I can stitch it.  I plan to needle felt the fur trim, by the way.  Watson's fur will create the face trim and Suki's fur will create the tiny ball at the tip of the cap.

Chris Lewis also distributes Needle Deeva.  Shops can place A. Bradley orders by emailing chris.abradleyneedlearts@gmail.com and Needle Deeva orders by emailing Chris@needledeeva.com.  Or you can write

Chris Lewis
A. Bradley Distributor
Needle Deeva Distributor
4523 50th Street
Lubbock, TX 79414

Or just call 830-445-9382.  Chris will be happy to talk about these wonderful designs with you!

Not familiar with these names?  Take a little gander at these!

Friday Finishing: Flowers

It's about time we saw some flowers around here! The flower beads on one pillow are just perfect, but all Ridgewood's finished pieces are great this week. 
http://ridgewoodneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2014/02/finishing-christmas-pillow-stitched-by.html

Here's another use of a flower bead, perfect on the belt of a Little Black Dress.
http://ridgewoodneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2014/02/little-black-dress-janes-little-black.html

This reminds me, Suzie at Enriched Stitch is starting a stitch-a-long of a Needle Deeva birdhouse garden canvas, with lots of flowers and spring things.  If you are interested in playing along, contact the shop.

Introducing Friday Finishing

There have been so many wonderful photographs of finishing available on websites and blogs lately that I thought it might be nice to collect and publish those each Friday.  So here's the first official Friday Finishing!

Stephanie showcases ornaments from her SWAN stitching group occasionally.  The SWANs stitch a Christmas ornament for a Christmas exchange each year.  I don't know if these beauties are from past gift exchanges or if they are Stephanie's own work, but they are all wonderful.
http://stephsstitching.blogspot.com/2013/08/various-and-assorted-cute-ornaments.html

If you like Halloween, you'll love these little Creeps from Needle Deeva and little spider from Associated Talents.
http://www.dianestakingtimeouttoneedlepoint.com/2013/07/halloween-finishing.html

If winter is your favorite season, the twirling snowmen tray (Ewe and Eye) will be your favorite.
http://astheneedleturns.com/the-boys-are-back/

If fashionable accessories warm your heart, then this The Point of It All classic purse is for you.
http://chapelhillneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2013/07/statement-piece.html

I know I show off a lot of finishing here on Blog, but seeing beautiful pieces made up is very inspirational to me and I hope to you also.   Enjoy!

Baby Baby

Pocket Full of Stitches is hosting a trunk show from Needle Deeva. Today they are showcasing baby samplers of various styles. Even if you are not in the market for a sampler for a very small person, some of these are quite interesting designs.  I really like the hand print idea, for example, and of course I'm a big fan of Noah's Ark patterns.  Hope you enjoy these, too.

The TNNA Show Offerings Start to Leak Out UPDATED

The new designs and products that will be released during TNNA's Winter trade show in California are starting to appear online.  I think this year instead of trying to post multiple listings of the new things I'll do one summary article to make it easier to find things later.  I will put the latest items on top of the list.  To find this article again, type "TNNA Winter 2013" in the search box at the top of the page on the left.  It should come right up.

UPDATES:

Pajamas and Chocolate has updated their website with new hand painted designs, full of color and pattern.  There are photos of their wooden Shaker box and coaster sets, too.

Cooper Oaks is asking Susan Wallace Barnes to do a series of seasonal doors.  Here is Blue Door which combines winter and Christmas.

http://mostlyneedlepoint.com/seeing-red/

Patti Mann is re-releasing the Russian Nesting Doll Nativity set.  This is a Darcy Predmore design that Patti Mann distributes.   It's a wonderful series of nine canvases:  Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the three Wise Men, the shepherd, a camel and an angel.  The pieces are all roughly  7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches except for Baby Jesus which is only 3 1/2 by 5 inches.  Each piece is roughly $80.  If you are curious, these and other new pieces should be up on Patti Mann's website by early February.
http://www.pattimann.com

If you have a Facebook account, keep your eyes open.  Shops and designers will start posting images soon.  Lani Burston Silver (Lani's Needlepoint) is already posting to the Needlepoint Nation group about her new shoe series and SJ Designs is showing off charted Berlin Woolwork pages from her new publication.

Yummy

Vicky is stitching Needle Deeva cupcakes!  The Joy cupcake will be taught at TNNA in early February and I imagine the others will be offered as clubs to various shops by Needle Deeva. Delicious fun and fat free, too.

First Night

No matter how you spell "Hannukah" it is a special time of year for Jews starting today. Vicky talks about the religious tradition on her blog, reminding me that us Christians aren't the only one with special holidays in December.

Finishing Fun

This morning I have lots of wonderful finished pieces for you to see.  Finished but not framed is Miss July (Melissa Shirley). Looks like Christmas Parade (Tapestry Tent/Susan Roberts) isn't too far from being finished, either!
http://melindaslivingthegoodlife.blogspot.com/2012/09/meet-miss-july-2012.html?spref=fb

Quail Run obviously has a candy cane addict among their customers, but really there is a lot to see from many designers made up in various styles.  Nice stitching, guys!  (And with a finishing date of December 1, I bet there will be lots more to see here later this fall.)
http://sonorandesertstitching.blogspot.com/2012/09/finishing-of-week.html

Wait'll you see how Pat finished her penguin family.  The birds are mostly beads and ribbon.

http://needleartnut.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-penguin-family_13.html

The topiaries from Kelly Clark aren't quite finished but they are so lovely I had to include them.  Anyone know who the designer of the pumpkin building series is?
http://needleworktheconstantthread.blogspot.com/2012/09/getting-into-fall-and-halloween-spirit.html

Finally, Ruth Schmuff has a new framed Halloween piece to show off.  It's guaranteed to put a grin on your face.

Consult the Professionals

Robin reminds us to consult with our framer before finishing a piece, just in case!   By the way, the example she uses to illustrate this point is her newest class, Needle Deeva's "Flowers in a Vase."

Robin's Last of TNNA Baltimore

Robin has been so busy since she returned from the TNNA show in Baltimore that she is just now reporting on what she saw and did and ate there.   First, she saw lots of wonderful things, from her newest Needle Deeva piece to new magnets from Accoutrement Designs, new canvases from Barbara Bergsten, new Viola bags with NP straps, and of course more of the wonderful variety of Keep Calm canvases from Unique New Zealand.
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/2012/09/baltimoretnna-day-3.html

Then if that wasn't enough, Robin went to Bedecked and Beadazzled and taught.  (And bought--what can I say?  I would have, too!)
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/2012/09/teaching-at-bedecked-and-beadazzled-2012.html

She's not the only great teacher they've just had visiting.  The weekend after the trade show Brenda Hart was there.

Planning a Canvas

Lots of folks are a bit intimidated about picking their own stitches and threads for a painted canvas. Sometimes it is just Too Much. But other times, aren't you tempted to try? Trust me, the more you do it the easier it gets.

To give a confidence boost, here is Vicky DeAngelis talking about her latest project, a set of Needle Deeva Thanksgiving canvases.
http://mostlyneedlepoint.com/07/16/yes-there-is-allot-of-stitching-going-on-here/

Here's Janet Perry talking about her new Charley Harper canvas.

If that's just not enough about how to approach a painted canvas, you can always revisit this article I wrote.

June McKnight Wore a Hat at Columbus

And what a hat it was!!!  Luckily Vicky D. was in June's class at TNNA Columbus and took a photograph of June and her class model.
http://mostlyneedlepoint.com/06/29/what-a-week/


June was teaching a piece from one of her books.  It's a great little book that I own and recommend just for fun inspiration.  I don't stitch many Halloween pieces so I've not actually used any stitches from my copy yet but it is a great eye candy book to slip through on those days when you just don't have the time or energy to stitch.  (Turn your sound down before you click on this link.)
http://junemcknight.com/spookystitches.html

By the way, Vicky's article shows a bit of the trade show and Vicky's neighbors near the Needle Deeva booth.  There's a photo of the Needle Deeva herself, too!

The TNNA Report: Friday Fun UPDATED

The first day at the TNNA show is Set Up Day. All the vendors spend the day hanging curtains, pinning up canvases on the curtain "walls" and setting up little tables and displays so that shop owners can see everything easily to order goodies to tempt their customers.  Robin is helping out at the Needle Deeva booth, so she took photos of everything as it went from huge empty hall to cozy display.  Looking at the photos, the first is Associated Talents with their spider leg stands, the second is Barbara Bergsten showing off her cheerful "shift" ornaments, and the last photos are of the Needle Deeva booth being born.
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/2012/06/tnnacolumbus-2012-day-one.html

By the way, the Needle Deeva website is updated with photos of all their new things.
http://www.needledeeva.com/whats_new.html

Of course not everyone at the show is a vendor.  The really important people are the shop owners.  The Needle Bug is there after a very long trip.
http://theneedlebug.com/2012/06/okay-the-twelve-hour-trip-to-columbus/

Not everything runs smoothly.  Needle Works is going to have to post show updates to their Facebook page instead of their blog.  Search for "The Needle Works" or click on this link if you have a Facebook account.
http://www.stitchinginthetexashillcountry.com/the_needle_works/2012/06/hello-from-columbus-i-will-be-posting-updates-from-the-show-floor-on-our-facebook-page-httpswwwfacebookcompag.html

Speaking of Facebook, Barbara Elmore has a photo of the Sundance booth and Amy's Golden Strand has photos from the Sample It displays.  Associated Talents has posted photos of their booth and the Friday evening events on their FB page.  Quail Run Needlework Inc. and Serendipity Needleworks both posted photographs from the classes they took on Friday.

UPDATE:  What's the Point? is also posting photographs from Market on their FB page.  Look for the Kirk and Hamilton pieces and new designs from Melissa Shirley, Maggie, Kathy Schenkel, Renaissance Designs,  BB Designs and a white birds rug from Colors of Praise that is to die for.
