Breaking News: Chart Thief on Etsy

Labels: copyright, Etsy, Textured Treasures

Textured Treasures has discovered that the Etsy shop "BettsVintagePatterns" is selling PDF versions of one of Textured Treasures' charts. This person is also selling other designers' work as his/her own. Fortunately, after a lot of folks complained on Karen's behalf, Etsy pulled the sale. It looks like the seller has stopped all sales, too. Hopefully this is for good.

If you want to buy a real Textured Treasures chart, just visit Karen's website. She sells kits, too. A friend is stitching From Dusk to Dawn, and it is stunning!

Acrylic Self Finishing Takes the Needlepoint World by Storm

Labels: acrylic, acrylic boxes, acrylic coasters, acrylic game boxes, acrylic match boxes, acrylic purses, acrylic trays, Stitch by Stitch Larchmont

If you haven't been paying a lot of attention to the world of needlepoint, you might have missed all the acrylic boxes, purses, trays and more available for those with finished needlepoint to insert inside them. Stitch by Stitch Larchmont has posted a lovely long article about all the various things that are available (and naturally they have canvases that will work with each.)

The two new items they carry I haven't seen before are tic-tac-toe boxes...

...and matchbox holders with canvases of various famous restaurant or hotels. Both appear to be bundles of the acrylic and matching canvas that will fit in it.

Of course many many shops carry acrylic items these days and many have access to acrylic manufacturers who will make custom items. Ask your favorite shop for ideas and help.
