Choosing Colors for Sudoku

One of the members of the New Jersey Needle Artists Chapter of ANG is changing the colors for a guild project, the stitching of Marilyn Owen's "Sudoku."  She has written up how she changes colors for charted designs, which is something I've always wondered about.  Hopefully if you are contemplating changing colors for a design this will help you, too.  Thanks for sharing, Needle Artists!

Needlepoint for Horses UPDATED

I should have titled this "Needlepoint for Horse Lovers" but I couldn't help myself.  I love the idea of needlepoint stitched for a horse!  Regardless of my odd sense of humor, anyone who loves horses and horse frame will enjoy the pieces that Ann of Horse Country Chic found at Adornment Needlepoint in the charming town of Winston-Salem, NC.   And, yes, needlepoint IS chic!

If you fall in love, here is Adornment's website.

UPDATE:  More horse canvases, many from Susan Roberts, although the fox is from Maggie I believe.

Ada went to the Nashville Needleworks retreat and had a blast! See, even designers love retreats.

Cat or Pumpkin? UPDATED

Sue is working on what I think is a Shelly Tribbey witch* and decided to do a darning stitch pumpkin for the background. Lo and Behold--it turned into a cat's heard!

Now that's background magic!

UPDATE: I corrected the link.  This is what happens when you blog too soon after cataract surgery!  LOL

*Nope, this is Deborah Wilson /Beau Jeste's Spread Eagle Witch.  Sue checked.  Thanks!
