Steve's Stitching Trivet

Steve just showed Needlepoint Nation a very clever stitching trivet he made from a Mindy canvas.

It is finished with two pieces of foam core, making fabric and cording, just like an ornament.  Many folks suggested putting magnets inside.

Melita's Florentine Star Trivets

Melita has been making Florentine stars using a Linda Dimianti pattern for gifts.

She put them in acrylic trivets, too. I think these are the ones she used.

Needlepoint and Woodworking

Rittenhouse is using a custom woodworker to design the right ottoman, box or tray for their customers. The fabulous results can be seen here.

Of course custom woodworking won't be cheap.  You might want to look for a pre-made box or tray that is the right size for the canvas you want to use. Everyone has heard of Sudberry's products but did you know Patt and Lee Designs has wood products, too?
