While looking for something else online, I ran into this mention of Ellen Ordway, "the Duchess of Needlepoint." She stitched a lot of rugs, and designed and stitched a magnificent Alice in Wonderland screen which you'll see here.

I wonder where that screen is now….

Speciality Items for Shops
Labels:

Homestead Needle Arts,
organization,
shops,
storage,
taping machines
The latest newsletter from Homestead Needle Arts has photos of two speciality items that needlepoint shops often use: a custom storage cabinet and a canvas taping machine. The cabinet needs a new home, if you are interested and can pick it up, but the canvas taping machine is new to the shop.

I find the business of needlepoint fascinating and thought you'd like to see the special items that shops often invest in to make things easier for us and the shop owners.

Costume Design in The Black Panther
Labels:
Black Panther,
costumes,
movies
This interview with the costume designer for The Black Panther is fascinating. She talks about using fabrics, printed patterns and embroidery and beading that was used in the costumes for various characters in the movie. The costumes seem to be an extension of the character and a visual clue to what they are about through the designer's skills.

Stitch with JoAnn for Charity
Labels:
charities,
Facebook,
Sara Leigh
Friends of the late JoAnn are selling her stash for charity, and I know you want to support their efforts to raise money to help the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation.
https://www.facebook.com/pg/Stitch-with-JoAnn-502075296931361/posts/?ref=page_internal
JoAnn had an amazing stash, all of which needs good homes. If you have a Facebook account, head to the above link and start browsing. This is what the administrators of the FB page and sale have to say:
Welcome to JoAnn's Stash Reload, where you can purchase new (as in never been stitched) hand-painted needlepoint or charted canvas projects. New items will be posted weekly, or whenever the number dips below 12. These items come from a household that once had a smoker and a cat (though they have been aired out). To purchase comment, "Me please," and send your email and zip code via Facebook message. Shipping is included in the listed price. Payments are via PayPal; a PayPal invoice will be sent to the email provided. Shipment on receipt of payment. Check out our story on the About page.
I know the folks who are running this stash sale and it's legit. They have over $1000 raised already. So take a look and bring home a bargain. Also keep an eye on the Facebook page, as new items are posted weekly. Let's raise money for other breast cancer sufferers and give JoAnn's stash new homes!
