Lorraine's Cats

Colour Complements just posted photographs of an original design (intended for the lid of a Sudberry box) created by Barb using the Colour Complements overdyed perle cotton. It's wonderful and fun and looks easy, too!

Congratulations to Barb for creating such a wonderful present.  And congratulations to Lorraine of Colour Complements for making such pretty inspirational threads.

Angels and Elf on a Shelf

I have to admit the Elf on a Shelf craze seems to have skipped Chilly Hollow.  I don't "get" it but a lot of folks love these little elves. If you are one, then Enriched Stitch has an exclusive Elf ornament for you to stitch for Christmas 2015.

But whether you are an Angel lover or an Elf lover, there is a needlepoint canvas for you.  That's the great thing--something for everything in the World of Needlepoint!
