Birds Eye Maple Mirrors with Inserts

Alex Paras Needle Arts has Sudbury mirrors with inserts for stitching on sale.  There are three sizes of Birds Eye maple mirrors and one size with a gold gilt frame.

https://store.apneedlearts.com/fiac.html

I don't know how easy these are to insert your stitching yourself but Sudbury has a lot of self-finishing boxes that work well.  If you want a mirror to showcase your stitching, these are a bargain.

Gay Ann Rogers' Sale October 24, 2024

Gay Ann Rogers has announced her fall sale will start October 24, 2024.  That's a Thursday; the sale normally runs through the next Sunday.  Be an early bird, though.  She has a lot of fans for her counted canvaswork designs and will run out of most things before the sale ends.

The sale this October will focus on Tudor themes, as you can see from her home page where she is highlighting what will be in the sale.

Breaking News: New Stitch Therapy Website

Stitch Therapy in Houston, Texas has a brand new website!  Instead of being Stitch Therapy NEEDLEPOINT, they are now Stitch Therapy NEEDLEWORKS.

https://stitchtherapyneedleworks.com/

Their old website is functional for a while since the Wish List feature on the old site can't migrate to the new site.  You have to do it manually.  Sorry, but computers may make it easy to shop from the ease of your couch but they don't do everything.

https://stitchtherapyneedlepoint.com/

Don't miss the Clearance section of the old website.  Everything there is in stock, ready to ship and going at a very good price.

Gay Ann Rogers' Sale Starts Tomorrow

It's the October sale you've been waiting for!  Tomorrow, October 19, is the first day of Gay Ann Roger's annual sale!  The theme this year is winter, so expect snowflakes, sparkle and icy blues and silver.  The sale of her counted designs ends on October 23 and some items (expect special events for limited quantities on Saturday and Sunday) are only available briefly as Gay Ann only has 1-2 of them.

Colour Complements Sale

Colour Complements is having a sale!  If you are a fan of overdyed cotton flosses and perles, time to stock up.  The sale is for individual skeins that Lorraine dyed too many of and for samples of coordinating colors that are odds and ends of inventory she wants to clear out.  It's a good time to experiment with color!

Vegetable Pillows from Kaffe Fassett

Kaffe Fassett's vegetable designs have been very popular but they've been discontinued for a while.  If you are a fan, there's good news--Ehrman has brought them back!  And they are on SALE!

https://www.ehrmantapestry.com/sale/?view=all

Ehrman is an English company that produces kits with printed designs that are meant to be stitched with wool.  I don't think these older designs come with a chart and I also think they use tapestry wool and are on 10 count printed canvas.  If you are a fan, this is a good time to add to your collection of veggies by one of the greatest needlepoint designers of all time.

Gay Ann Rogers Sale Starts Today

Gay Ann Rogers' latest counted canvaswork design, Mystery in St. Tropez, will be offered for sale June 13 (today!) through June 15.   If you like counted geometrics, you'll love this.  St. Tropez is a mystery design.  On Gay Ann's home page you can see the center of the design which is the same for everyone.  You can also see the various choices for the sides and corners.  Each stitcher picks their own colors, then chooses which of the alternative sides/corners they like, so no two designs will be the same.  You'll be able to purchase the chart starting at 8 a.m. Pacific time from Gay Ann's website.

https://www.gayannrogers.com/index.html

Not good at picking colors?  Not to worry.  Needle in a Haystack in Alameda, CA has assembled thread groupings for you.  Those are also posted on Gay Ann's home page.  If you see one you like, you can contact NIAH to order those threads and the colored canvas paired with them. 

https://needlestack.americommerce.com/Thread/NIAH-GARStTropez.aspx

Gay Ann will be the guest for the June 22nd We Talk Fiber podcast to talk about this new mystery design, color and being your own designer the easy way.

Want to Buy a Kaffe Fassett Original?

The Kaffe Fassett Studio has a few of the needlepoint models stitched by Kaffe himself for sale.

http://www.kaffefassett.com/gallery/shop/

They also have knitting, ceramics, patchwork, hats and more for sale.  I should also mention that there is a new Fassett book called "Kaffe Fassett in the Studio" which talks about his studio and his love of color and pattern.  It's not a book with charts of his needlepoint designs like some of the early ones but if you are interested in color, he is a master. You can see more about it here.  Don't miss the video!

Gay Ann Roger's Sale Starts Tomorrow

Gay Ann Rogers' annual sale of her counted charts and kits will start tomorrow, October 15, at 8 a.m. California time.  

https://www.gayannrogers.com/patriotic-heart-sale-1/index.html

Most everything will be patriotic themed except on Saturday, when her surprise windows will have antique tools and geometric designs, including a new Downton Abby-themed chart.

If you are interested, buy now.  Gay Ann will probably end her sale in 3-4 days so she doesn't have to spend months trying to ship kits during a pandemic.
