BREAKING NEWS: Needlepoint Book App is Freezing

The author of the app for the newest version of The Needlepoint Book says if your app is freezing, please email the publisher. touchstonemarketing@simonandschuster.com.  Jo Christensen has nothing to do with the apps and cannot fix anything that is going wrong.  She's very sorry, but it's not her area.

TNNA Survey Results

TNNA does a survey of all the needle arts about every three years. The survey results for 2016 are now in. I can't share them with you--they belong to TNNA so only members can see them--but TNNA has been blogging about some of the results on their website. Here is what they say about the needlepoint section of the survey.

Poppin Cube

Donna has a new wonderful item to take on retreats--a Poppin Cube from The Container Store.

Isn't that clever?!  She's right that it is maybe too big for classes but anyone who travels a lot might want something like this.  Heck, us stay-at-homes might need one, too!

Thanks, Donna.

Need a New Purse?

Need a new purse? Jo I. Christensen found one on sale and posted about it on Facebook.

Personally I think you could stitch a nicer one and pay for it to be finished by a very expensive finisher and still pay less than that!

How about this one?  Still, we can do better ourselves for much less, even for very high end finishing.
