Details on a Labor of Love Exclusive

Nimble Needle in New Jersey just snagged the last of ten exclusive Labor of Love canvases featuring the Young Queen Victoria with her dog.  I really enjoyed reading about these canvases which all are limited to an edition of ten and come with china heads and other attachments (a purse in this case).   If you are a counted canvaswork fan, you will enjoy seeing the new Imperial Fan from Finger Step Designs and the gorgeous shades of silk perles from Gumnuts pulled to go with the canvas.

Stitching Games Update

Ada Haydan of Eye Candy updates us on her progress with the March clue for Stitcherie's Stitching Games.
http://eyecandyneedleart.blogspot.com/2014/04/stitching-games-update-march-clue.html

Stitcherie is an online stitching hangout and K.B. runs a game there each year.  Each month there is a clue (April's is "bacon") which the participants use to inspire that month's stitching.  Before the end of the month the game players post a photo of their progress and explain how they interpreted the clue on their particular canvas.  You can join Stitcherie here, then click on the Stitching Games discussion to watch this year's 60+ stitchers run wild.

Another Project Carrier

A few days ago I posted a link about a project "safe" that enables you to carry a canvas on stretcher bars around with you safely. I have another project tote for you to see on the Stitcherista's blog.  This one is also hand made and very beautiful but unfortunately as I write this the Etsy store is closed because the owner is away.  If you are interested in ordering one of these, you might have to keep checking back until the designer/manufacturer returns.
