Breaking News: Liz Morrow of LizArt Has Died

I am very sad to have learned that Liz Morrow of LizArt died last Wednesday, December 30th.  Liz's designs, particularly her four-way Bargello charts, are classics.  Rinda Just has taken over Liz's designs (Liz transferred her copyrights to Rinda so her work would carry on) and built a new website for her work.  You can visit it here—

Liz's friends will enjoy revisiting her blog to read her words and see more of her amazing original artwork.

Videos from The Point Of It All

The Point of It All is one of the lovely D.C. needlepoint shops in my general area.  I've never been there (parking is an issue) but I enjoy browsing their website.  If you are a fan of classic design, you'll have a blast looking.  Click on "Shop" to start looking.

The shop has a series of videos perfect for beginners and to use as a refresher course if you haven't needlepointed in a long time.  You can visit them all here—
