Summer isn't finished stitching her Royal Santa (Amanda Lawford) but she has finished some important sections.  Lovely!

Linda isn't finished with her And More sayings piece, either, but she's chosen a very clever way of embellishing it that I had to share.

Suddenly I Am Hungry

Mer discovered this wonderful photograph of finished Needle Deeva Halloween cupcakes.  They all come with a stitch guide from the incomparable Cynthia Thomas, too!

If you go to the Needle Deeva model photo page, you can see each individual cupcake.

Needle Art 2012

Although not as well known as the Woodlawn Plantation needlework exhibit, the show each year at Montpelier Museum in Maryland also is a great place to see and exhibit needlework.

You can read more about the November show here and find out about the Needle Arts retreat going on at the same time.

Carolyn has done another house tour, this time to a small Texas farm house that belongs to her sister that looks to be full of stitching, family and good food.
