Rehoboth Beach Museum Planning Dates

Brenda reminds us that the Rehoboth Beach Museum's Annual Needlework Exhibit will be September 16 through November 12, 2023.  Brenda lists the dates for dropping off and picking up the pieces you plan to exhibit, and there's a link to the museum's application form which is turned in with your exhibits.

Zumba Poster

Jan's decided to copy a Zumba poster in her classroom as a gift for the teacher.  

She's raiding her stash for the pumpkin and rust colors now that she has copied the design onto needlepoint canvas.

The background is done and the lettering is underway.

Bohin's Colorful Embroidery Scissors

Bohin is a French company known for their high quality stitching tools such as needles and seam rippers.  I didn't realize that they have colorful limited embroidery scissors, too.  Needle Nook of La Jolla carries some of their birds, cats, and Russian nesting dolls series.

The Bohin website shows all sorts of fun scissor patterns, including a seahorse, Eiffel Tower, lobster, octupus, squirrel, tiger, etc.  I haven't seen these in person so I can't judge their quality but they are relatively inexpensive.  Some Bohin decorated scissors would make a good present for your stitching bestie or something to tuck in a travel bag.

By the way, I found this gorgeous mother of pearl scissors fob while looking for Bohin scissors.

There are two versions, one with a larger clasp for regular scissors.

Self Finishing with Morgan Julia

Morgan Julia has a short article and video on how to self-finish a canvas into one of those Planet Earth self-finishing jewelry boxes.  She is using the jewelry box with the 3x3 inch opening for her demo but the larger boxes are finished the same way.

https://morganjuliadesigns.com/blogs/news/how-to-self-finish-a-needlepoint-jewelry-box

She's right--you can do the self-finishing in 10-15 minutes, depending on how many times you get interrupted and how nervous you are at doing it.  That's a ton better than waiting 7-12 months for the professional finisher to work on your project, right?
