All About Melita's Scissors

Melita shows off her scissors collection. Some of them I've never seen before!  Luckily for my scissor lust, she tells us what she likes to use them for and clues us in to scissors not worth the cash.

Basketweave and Continental Explained

Today at The Whimsical Stitch Mary explains how Basketweave and Continental stitches are done and explains where she uses each.  It's a great tutorial on each stitch so I've added it to the "Tutorials and Tips" tab for later reference.

Sonata, Step By Step

Debbie Rowley of DebBee's Designs is working on a new teaching piece called "Sonata." I think it's great fun to see the design develop, from the colors chosen to even a new stitch created to suit an empty space.  Eventually the chart will be sold but not until after the class (or classes) are over.

Another Way to Thread a Needle

Mary Corbet mentioned this needle threading tutorial  by Luzine Happel which you might like to try if you can't ever find a needle threader when you need one and the traditional method just isn't working for you.

Southern Charm (With Needlepoint on the Side)

Lycette Designs' newest television show to binge on while stitching is "Southern Charm." 
http://lycettedesigns.com/netflix-needlepoint-3-0/

Some full episodes of this reality show are available on the Bravo Channel's website if you subscribe via DirecTv.  Don't know yet if any needlepoint is glimpsed there....
