Ada Hayden of EyeCandy has found a brand new shop in Denver!

It's called Downing Street Needlepoint and it is on Downing Street.  <duh>  Here's their website.  It's a little bare bones as they are just getting started.

Everybody in the area, go wish them luck!

Celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with Needlepoint UPDATED

Are you celebrating the 70th year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign?  If so, and you needlepoint, Moore Stitching's celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne is lovely.

She's got a great Queen Elizabeth silhouette, too.

We wish Her Majesty good health and good luck in the coming year.

UPDATES:  Kate Dickerson has added a portrait of HRH to her line, and...

...Kirkland Design Studio has new England-themed needle minders.

Raymond Crawford has some wonderful British themes, too.
