Many kudos to the folks at the American Needlepoint Guild for running this program every year since 1998!

With holiday madness in the air, I am just now getting around to mentioning that Quail Run's December e-newsletter was full of great Christmas finishing, as well as a great tip section from Margaret Bendig who often teaches at the shop. You'll learn how to make your satin stitches cover better, how to anchor threads securely with a few tiny stitches, and how to get the best light reflection with white threads. Thanks, Margaret!

If you love dogs like I love dogs, you'll want to see what The Young Needlepointer has been stitching!

I didn't find this on the Cheryl Schaeffer Designs website but I am sure your local shop can order it for you.

A Toast!

One of the more unusual needlepoint gifts I've seen is Liz's whiskey flask. I'll let her tell you about it.
http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/motorcycle-flask.html
I think Liz got her flask from Elizabeth Turner Designs, which offers several patterns for the inside. Liz needed a plain piece of canvas as her design was custom. Liz told me that the leather wrap is attached with velcro. She's still trying to find a good way to adhere the NP canvas to the back side of the leather. If you remove the leather wrap, the needlepoint canvas falls out. Any one have good ideas on how to do this? The glues she has tried don't work as they don't bond well to leather. After all, the canvas has a lot of holes.
