Exclusives from Needlepoint Junction

Are you looking for something unique that not everyone and their brother-in-law are stitching?  Look no further than the shop exclusive page on Needlepoint Junction's website.

https://shopneedlepointjunction.com/collections/exclusives

I'm particularly found of the Gingerbread Dreams Mini Sock on 13 count (I've seen it stitched with both the pink background and a deep blue) but there is plenty to love and enjoy here like the birdhouse and cardinal or the napkin ring canvases with Beth Gantz napkin ring frames.  Gayla Elliott fans will swoon over her Autumn canvas!

Then there are the Nordic mini socks and sweater designs....

Not to mention the leather self-finishing frames from Jenny Henry!

Tricks with Silk Road Fiber: The Movie

The Needlepoint Clubhouse shows off tricks you can use to skein and split Silk Road Fiber if a length is too fat for whatever you are doing.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwn4ffOvADW/

The reason behind the movie is Needlepoint Clubhouse has a new exclusive collection of five shades of orange in Silk Road Fiber.  All shops have the other Collections that feature shades of blue, pink, green, red and neon colors but the orange set is only available from Needlepoint Clubhouse.  This link shows the orange but you can order any of the colors from the same page by switching colors before you add to your shopping cart.

K's Creations Has a Swivel Ball Table Clamp UPDATED

K's Creations has come up with a table clamp that works with the ball swivel on their floor stand. If you have one of their metal floor stands, you can simply remove the ball swivel and purchase the clamp and assemble them to use.  If this doesn't make sense to you, check out the video posted by BeStitched here.  This is a shop exclusive, by the way, so BeStitched is the only place you can buy these.
https://bestitchedneedlepointshop.com/products/ks-swivel-ball-table-clamp

UPDATE: Brenda has purchased one of these and shows off the first way she set it up to use.

My Newest Canvas

Courtesy of a dear friend who maybe knows me a little too well, I have a new canvas in my collection.   It is eight inches square on 18 count canvas.  My version has purple letters on an ecru background, although you can purchase black lettering on ecru from the Bloomin Stitches store.  (This is a shop exclusive so this is the only place to pick it up.)
http://www.bloominstitches.com

A friend saw my present and ordered red letters on a white background, so you can get this customized to your preferred colors.  So what is my newest treat, you ask?

CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED

Scroll down at your own risk!

It cracks me up every time I look at it.  Many thanks to Laura at Bloomin Stitches and especially my friend who obviously are as strange as I am.  Now I need to assemble purple threads, beads and sequins and a very feminine background stitch so this will be as ladylike as possible until one reads the text.

A Needlepoint Love Story, 2016 Entry UPDATED

Thistle Hill is holding its third annual needlepoint exhibit from February 24-38 in Fort Worth, Texas.   This show is called "A Needlepoint Love Story" and because it is the third annual exhibit, the organizers are calling this Chapter Three. This year the exhibit (which raises funds for Historic Fort Worth) will have three exclusive heart canvases that celebrate Thistle Hill.  The French Knot in Fort Worth did the stitch guides and will sell a limited number of the canvases during the show.  Fancy Stitches in Cleburne will also have some of the hearts available.  You can also pre-order the heart canvases although I am not sure where.  I am sure the two shops helping with this (links below) will be able to advise you.  Needlepoint This will have tickets to the exhibit and may be able to order hearts as well.

Angels and Elf on a Shelf

I have to admit the Elf on a Shelf craze seems to have skipped Chilly Hollow.  I don't "get" it but a lot of folks love these little elves. If you are one, then Enriched Stitch has an exclusive Elf ornament for you to stitch for Christmas 2015.
http://astheneedleturns.com/elf-on-the-shelf/

Ridgewood has self finishing angels.  Now angels I do get!
http://ridgewoodneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-angels.html

But whether you are an Angel lover or an Elf lover, there is a needlepoint canvas for you.  That's the great thing--something for everything in the World of Needlepoint!

A New Jean Hilton!

Oh boy oh boy! A new Jean Hilton chart is about to be released in August by Stitches from the Heart!
http://stitches-heart.com/jean-hiltons-a-la-mode/

Stitches in the Heart has the right to publish and distribute Jean's designs.  Most of Jean's work is available from any good needlepoint shop (see the tab labeled "Counted Canvaswork Shops" for sources of shops that stock lots of charts if you don't have a local source for them) but this particular design will be available for the next year from Stitches in the Heart only.

If you aren't familiar with the late Jean Hilton's designs or books, or you just want to add one of them to your collection, here is the place to browse.

Charley Harper Fan Alert UPDATED

Needlepoint.com is having a Charley Harper trunk show this month and as part of the celebration, they have an exclusive design called "Green Jay" that shows a bird and praying mantis in the tree branches.  Since there are so many Charley fans, I thought I'd let you guys know.
http://www.needlepoint.com/shop/all-canvases/charley-harper.html

UPDATE: This week The Needlepointer pulled threads for several Charley Harper canvases they have in stock.  I thought threadaholics and Charley fans both would love to see their thread ideas.

Details on a Labor of Love Exclusive

Nimble Needle in New Jersey just snagged the last of ten exclusive Labor of Love canvases featuring the Young Queen Victoria with her dog.  I really enjoyed reading about these canvases which all are limited to an edition of ten and come with china heads and other attachments (a purse in this case).   If you are a counted canvaswork fan, you will enjoy seeing the new Imperial Fan from Finger Step Designs and the gorgeous shades of silk perles from Gumnuts pulled to go with the canvas.

3 Kitten's Russian Santas Club

3 Kittens is going to do a monthly club this year featuring four of Leigh's eight Russian Santas PLUS the matching Snow Maiden!   The blonde, blue-eyed Snow Maiden is an exclusive canvas for this shop so right now you can't get her anywhere else.  I don't know yet if she will be available alone or if you have to sign up to stitch both her and her Santa brethren.  The shop says she is only available as part of the club.   It is interesting to read that the shop plans to do these pieces with a domed background filled with blackwork patterns, and each Santa will stand on a elaborately patterned bottom border.  You know, that border base is a very good idea....

Brenda Stofft Store Exclusive

Hingham Square Needlepoint worked with Brenda Stofft on this custom Christmas tree skirt, posted on the shop's Facebook page.

They talked Brenda into creating a shop exclusive called Sugar and Spice Mrs. Santa which is available to be made into a stand up or tree topper, but doesn't have the side peppermint candy garlands.

Limited for Christmas

Do you wish you'd stitched something special to mark 1990?  Are you tired of stitching an ornament and discovering all your stitching friends did the same one?  Are you looking for something that is a bit different for this year?  Then check out the ornaments that Needle Nicely designs to celebrate each Christmas.  As far as I know, all the ornaments pictured are still available.  That bead tree, the Santa whose beard is very flyaway and the cherub are all whispering "Stitch me!"  Sigh.

Exclusive Magnets for Collectors

If you love using pairs of magnets clipped to your canvas top and bottom to keep your needles under control, you will enjoy seeing the new Mag Friends exclusive magnets from Accoutrement Designs. These are produced for one shop and one shop only to sell.  So if you fall for that daisy magnet with its matching scissors fob, you will have to contact Bloomin' Stitches to purchase one.
