Amy Bunger's Next Home Study: Rebecca Wood's Four Seasons Angels

Amy Bunger just announced her latest Home Study--Rebecca Wood's "The Four Seasons" angels. Each angel is 6 x 10 inches on 18 count and are painted with a domed top so they'll make either nice standups or look good framed.

This won't start for a while as the angels won't be available until the Spring of 2024 and Amy has to stitch them and write the guides but it doesn't hurt to ask your favorite shop to order the canvases for you now if you want to participate.

Amy's working on the Autumn and Spring angels.  Rebecca Wood will paint them without halos and wings if you want ladies instead of angels.

Spring Angel is finished and she's beautiful.

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.

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