"Snow; Strong, Silent, Beautiful"

This isn't needlepoint, but Jenny Adin-Christie's winter bear piece is stunning.

Make sure you use the right side arrow to see more detail of this wonderful embroidery.

The Missing Bear Found and Other Thoughts

Remember Susan and the missing piece to her TS Designs bear? I'm happy to say that she has the missing piece now and is dancing all around the locked and guarded room that contains the bear pieces. She says to tell everyone thank you very much and to remind you that if you take your needlepoint along when you are doing holiday travel this month and next, keep a careful eye on it! Susan's adventure wasn't all that much fun, even though she tried to keep her spirits up and there was a happy ending.

As for my changes to the list of blogs on the Blogspot blog, I've reverted to uploading them all manually. Even then there are blogs that won't display, probably because the ability to send out a feed is not enabled by the blog's owner. Blogspot only allows me to display twenty-five blogs and the list is set to display only the ones with recent blog entries. There are more I follow and if they post anything more recent, they will replace a blog with earlier postings.

Finally, Thanksgiving is next week (eeeek) and I will be away for several days. Don't worry if you visit Blog and don't find me there--I'm off eating turkey sandwiches and playing video games with my nieces. And handing over the Joan Thomasson wizard and the Maggie mini-stocking of the cat in a hat to their new owners.

Mystery of the Missing Bear UPDATED


Have you seen this bear? Susan was traveling and tired and let the final piece of twelve slip out of her bag on an airplane. She's had no luck in finding her lost canvas or in tracking down a replacement canvas as this is an older piece from TS Designs that is a Bar Mitzvah Bear. It came with fringe to put on the tallis and is 14 count. She also lost the photo of the finished piece and the instructions, so even those are better than nothing if you stitched this bear and have them buried in the bottom of your closet.
The piece she lost was the bottom section in the above photo. So rummage through your stash, search the local shop's inventory, and rack your brains. If you have seen this bear anyplace email me at chillyhollowat hot maildot com and I'll forward your message to Susan.
Thanks! You all are The Best!

UPDATE: We now have a lead on where to contact the former owner of TS Designs and know where the bear was painted so we can contact them for a copy of the piece pattern. You guys are amazing!
