Jolly Red's New Website

Jolly Red, a UK-based needlepoint company that sells mostly kits, has a new look for its website.

https://www.jollyred.co.uk

It's a great time to explore their traditional wares.  Most of their designs are printed on 10 or 12 count and kitted with Anchor tapestry wool along with a chart to help you when you are uncertain, but you can buy the canvas only.

Amy's Newest Home Study

The fabulous Amy Bunger may have closed her shop in Memphis, but she's still teaching her Home Study classes.  The next one will be based on Melissa Shirley's new Gardening Bookshelf design.

It will be a while before Amy gets her canvas but you can email her to get on her mailing list once this Home Study starts.  She's working with Needle Works in Austin, TX to kit everything.  You can also browse older Home Studies to see more of Amy's work.

Something I've Never Seen Before UPDATED

Just when you think you've seen every possible use for needlepoint, Pip and Roo comes up with a leopard pocket!

UPDATE:  Several folks have told me the late dede Odgen did pockets, too.  One person remembers a pocket with frogs.  With Kent's help, I found three four of the dede pockets.  Since Fleur de Paris owns the dede line, perhaps you can order one from them.
