A Report from the UK

Anna Pearson has an update on her students and how everyone is stitching over on the other side of the Atlantic.    Everyone seems to like bright colors and using up their stash threads, while Anna is planning presents for her family.

Arlene Went to Nashville Expo Remotely

Arlene Cohen of WorksByABC participated in the Nashville Expo last week, the big cross stitch and counted show that is usually held in Nashville, Tennessee.  It's interesting to hear how this was set up and how it worked for charted designers like Arlene.

You can browse Arlene's designs for cross stitch, counted canvas work and blackwork here.

Barbara's Needlepoint Has a Website !!!!!

Barbara's Needlepoint in Souix Falls, South Dakota has a website now!

https://www.barbarasneedlepoint.com

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Barbara's Needlepoint has in-house artists that you will love.  Check Ann Hanson's work, the Cindy and Beth Designs section, and of course Barbara's own Under the Rainbow designs.  They are also known for superb in-house finishing but there aren't many photos of that available yet. 

Have fun browsing.  They are a great shop and I'm glad they have a website where we can browse and buy now.  Not everyone is on Facebook, after all.

The Needlepoint Man

Facebook has a new page, The Needlepoint Man!  This is Andrew Thompson's place to document his needlepoint journey.  He's a new needlepointer, located in the UK, and having a great time.  I am looking forward to seeing where needlepoint leads him.
