Latest Paternayan News

The latest Paternayan news comes via Needle Nicely, which just placed an order for the new Paternayan.  Briefly, there are around thirty colors to start, delivery of the order is expected in mid-February, and it will cost more than the old version of Paternayan.  I'm pretty sure the three plies will be all roughly the same dimension instead of the old "father, mother, baby" sizes which are useful in plying to fit a certain canvas size, but are very expensive to create.

Here are my earlier messages about Paternayan and the plans of the company that purchased the rights and the buildings and stock.  The official introduction of the new Paternayan is planned for the TNNA Winter 2013 show in late January-early February.  Shops who haven't ordered yet can do so at the trade show.

The House I Built

Ok, **I** didn't build a house, Orna Willis did. Her newest design, available from her website in kit form or just the chart book, is called "The House I Built."  As usual for Orna, her flair for color and pattern is on full display.  There's a link in the following article to her site to purchase "The House" but I am adding the direct URL below, just in case the link in the article doesn't work.

Nutcracker Santa

Wait'll you see what Summer Louise is doing with one of those large Amanda Lawford standup Santas!  This is Nutcracker Santa and if I remember correctly, he's the mid-sized version on 18 count.  I think he's going to be a heirloom masterpiece.

The TNNA Show Offerings Start to Leak Out UPDATED

The new designs and products that will be released during TNNA's Winter trade show in California are starting to appear online.  I think this year instead of trying to post multiple listings of the new things I'll do one summary article to make it easier to find things later.  I will put the latest items on top of the list.  To find this article again, type "TNNA Winter 2013" in the search box at the top of the page on the left.  It should come right up.

UPDATES:

Pajamas and Chocolate has updated their website with new hand painted designs, full of color and pattern.  There are photos of their wooden Shaker box and coaster sets, too.

Patti Mann is re-releasing the Russian Nesting Doll Nativity set.  This is a Darcy Predmore design that Patti Mann distributes.   It's a wonderful series of nine canvases:  Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the three Wise Men, the shepherd, a camel and an angel.  The pieces are all roughly  7 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches except for Baby Jesus which is only 3 1/2 by 5 inches.  Each piece is roughly $80.  If you are curious, these and other new pieces should be up on Patti Mann's website by early February.

If you have a Facebook account, keep your eyes open.  Shops and designers will start posting images soon.  Lani Burston Silver (Lani's Needlepoint) is already posting to the Needlepoint Nation group about her new shoe series and SJ Designs is showing off charted Berlin Woolwork pages from her new publication.
