Just in time for winter, Needlepoint For Fun has a great snowy skies stitch.

If you aren't familiar with the stitch, Pat Timpanaro has done a lovely numbered diagram for the ANG website.

I am not certain what threads Needlepoint For Fun used but it looks like Caron's Snow to me. I happen to love that thread! Of course Silk Lame Braid, Kreinik metallics and a lot of other threads will also work. Raid your stash and see what you can find.

Here's to beautiful icy snowy skies this winter--but only on our stitching!

In Stitches Does Halloween
In Stitches is the counted thread shop (with knitting and needlepoint) close to the entrance to Woodlawn Plantation. They offer a lot of counted and cross stitch patterns but they also have needlepoint, so I wasn't totally surprised when their Halloween blog posting featured two wonderful needlepoint patterns. First there's Shelly Tribbey's skeleton in a top hat, perfect for the Halloween dandy! I think finishing this in a little coffin would be perfect!

The photo of the Quilted Jack o' Lantern (fourth from the bottom) is a counted canvaswork classic from Pat Timpanaro of Neon Flamingo. I hope this chart is still available. It's a fun sampler of stitches for the fan of counted work.

Sometimes you can find great designs in the most unlikely places....
