Celebrating the End of Summer

Linda is celebrating the traditional end of summer here in the U.S.  by showing off the new framed items she is hanging on her walls. Looks like a very productive year so far, Linda!

There's a Spider on the Cover

The upcoming September/October 2012 issue of Needlepoint Now features Timothy the Spider and his relatives on the cover!

Timothy is the mascot of Associated Talents.  You may remember his tour of the Columbus show last June.....

I think that's Timothy right here.

Interviews: Inspirations Magazine Editor

In the world of stitching magazines, Inspirations is the most talked about and it probably has one of the widest circulations. All embroiders read it and many subscribe. It's not something that comes my way often (the laughable bookstore here doesn't carry it as far as I know although it is possible that they only get a few copies that are always sold out before I check) but the interview with the editor of the magazine that The Unbroken Thread did is fascinating.  What a lot of work goes into these things!

Makes me appreciate Needlepoint Now and Needle Pointers even more!

Smashed

I'd never heard of a smash book until someone mentioned they used them on the Facebook Needlepoint Group.   Danielle took the idea and ran with it.  Thanks for the postings!  Now I understand what they are and the possibilities.
