Marjorie Taylor's Vegan Taxidermy

If you subscribe to Needlepoint Now magazine and have the May-June 2022 issue, you already know about Marjorie Taylor's "Vegan Taxidermy."  But if you don't subscribe or your copy is still in the clutches of the post office, this online Eugene, Oregon news article will show what she makes with vintage needlepoint canvases.

Best Travel Tools

Needlepoint for Fun's latest newsletter talks about the best tools for traveling.  They have great ideas, including a style of project bag I've not seen before, but their best tip is to take an extra packet of needles.

In fact, put a packet of needles in your wallet or purse so you have them at all times.  Needles are easy to loose and very hard to replace on vacation.

Thirty-Two Years of Stitching

Thanks to Allison posting about this to NP Nation, I have a link describing a church congregation's thirty-two year journey stitching needlepoint cushions.  There are photos at the top of the article and a video embedded in the middle.

Kudos to the wonderful folks who pulled this off.

Attaching a Sawtooth Hanger

Kelly of Starke Art posted photos showing how to sew a sawtooth hanger to the back of a sign or something similar to hang on the wall.  She recommends you sew through the foam core in the center, not just the fabric, to secure it.
