The Turkeywork Tutorial Movie

Does turkeywork scare you to death? Not to worry, Meredith Willet of M's Canvashouse/Elizabeth Turner/Meredith Collection in conjunction with The Crewelwork Company has posted a video tutorial on YouTube.  In this demo she's working on linen but this stitch works on needlepoint canvas, too.  Just remember to work from the left to right.

Lani Silver just announced on her Facebook page she is closing her physical store the end of June 2020.  She will have a sale in the shop over the next two weeks only, then move her business to a studio on her property where she'll continue to design and do occasional classes.

I don't know if the sale prices are available for mail order customers but if there is something you love, give Lani a call.
