The Footstool UPDATED

Rachel of Vertuosew Adventures is going to create a canvas footstool using inspiration from her grandmother and stash threads.  It will replace a footstool her grandmother stitched that her mother has worn out.

It's really easy to come up with something fun to stitch from your stash, even if you don't have an old footstool that needs a cover.

Erica Wilson, Louis Gartner and "Modern" Needlepoint

Here's a look back at the needlepoint of taste-makers in the 1960-70s.

Although these are historic pieces, they are also fresh and modern like all geometrics.  Enjoy!

A Bowl for Candy

Thanks to Donna's recommendation I've been reading the Embroiderers Association of Canada's blog where I stumbled across this counted canvaswork candy dish!

Now that's not something you see every day!  A little searching found this information on the designer Carol Storie's project.

Here is her website.  The candy dish project isn't listed there as it is still probably only a teaching piece.
