Perfect Present for a Stitcher

Virginia's sister found the perfect present for her birthday.  I have no idea where she found these but it looks like a wonderful present for a stitcher.

Where to Find HP Designs

The interview with Frank Hyatt has prompted lots of questions about where to find HP Designs canvases. Of course you should start with Frank's HP Design website which has the leftover stock of designs that weren't picked up elsewhere.

Frank also has an eBay store which has some real bargains.  Search eBay for the seller hpdesigns to see what temptations Frank has ready for purchase.

Julia's Needleworks has quite a few of Frank's beauties for sale, especially among the classic African and floral areas Frank did so well.

Amanda Lawford went for the classics, particularly the Asian and flower patterns and the animals with oriental rug borders.  She also picked up some of the lacquer boxes (second link).

Barbara Russell also chose animals and Asian designs but her website doesn't have the HP Designs pieces in one section.  You'll have to browse to find them, which is no problem.  Barbara's site is a delight to explore.

I hope you find one of Frank's beauties to stitch and treasure.  Thanks again, HP Designs!  It was great while it lasted.

HP Design Inventory Sale UPDATED

The owner of HP Designs retired last year and sold some of their copyrights to other designers. However, they still have leftover inventory in designs that no one else picked up and have some of their lacquer boxes left as well. They've set up a website to reduce the inventory. If you loved their work, check out the leftovers here.  Please note that there are quite a few boxes left.  The ones with prices only have one size left.  The others are in various sizes, so click on the color you like and browse.

UPDATE:  Wanna see what a good box will do to a design?  Orna knows!
