Victoria Whitson's Stitch Card Deck No. One

Victoria Whitson Needlepoint's latest idea is the Stitch Card Deck.  There are 39 cards, each with a different stitch diagram, that come on a ring so you can remove a card to take with you.  

There's also a little stand and a carrying case.

This is Deck One, so hopefully there will be more.

Taking a Kelly Starke Class on Finishing

The NJNA Chapter of ANG sponsored an ornament finishing class with Kelly Starke as the teacher.

Melita took the class and also reported on it.

They did round ornaments first, then shaped ornaments.  Everyone had a good time and learned something.

Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory

Emma Homent's new book, Needlepoint:  A Modern Stitch Directory, is now becoming available in the shops.  It has 50 stitches, each diagrammed with a stitch sample in color, on individual cards.  This is perfect for folks who can't visualize a stitch from the diagram alone.
