Nothing to Wear?

Don't have a thing to wear to that Labor Day party?  Not to worry, Kristin Mallison has you covered with her cute skirts that feature vintage needlepoint panels on the front.  She also does bodices from upcycled needlepoint in case you want something besides a mini skirt.

Many thanks to Chris' daughter for alerting NP Nation to these fun fashions!

Pretty Stitches by the Pointer Sisters

I just stumbled across mention of a new spiral bound book called Pretty Stitches by the Pointer Sisters.

https://www.atpneedlepoint.com/shop/p/pretty-stitches-by-the-pointer-sisters-stitch-guide

The book is by Timmy Schultz and Jan Dederick.  It's 137 pages with around 60 stitches covered.  The book itself is small enough at 4x7 inches to carry in your stitching bag on vacation.  I found one review.

Looks like a second book is in the works, too.
