It is really lovely.  I think that the canvas and the window magnetic pieces are designed by Kirk and Bradley but I also think it's a discontinued design.

Staging Needlepoint for Social Media

Bet you didn't realize (I sure didn't!) that the bigger needlepoint shops have people who stage those lovely photos you see on Instagram and Facebook and in shop e-newsletters.  Katy at Needlepoint.com talks about what she does, which is quite interesting.

The Six Drawer Thread Storage Cabinet

The NJNA blog just mentioned this six-drawer thread storage cabinet.

I can't tell if it is solid wood (although it looks like it) or the type of wood it is made from, but this is a good price. Of course it will have to ship from New Zealand....
