Belt Design Contest

Folks who always wanted to design their own canvas might be interested in Needlepaint.com's Design A Belt contest.   They have posted a video about designing your own belt you might find very helpful.  Of course this is to promote their business since if you love the design, you will want to buy it on one of their canvases, but if you win the contest, this will be free.

Ann Goes to Coombe Down

I should have titled this Ann goes to Combe Down--and what she learned there!

Ann is a British quilter, by the way, who has done some astounding sketchbooks.

The Keenan Variation

The shop newsletter for Bedecked and Beaddazzled is available online now. Besides all the tempting classes and clubs, Ruth has posted terrific diagrams for Keenan Stitch that show a great way of working it in long vertical rows instead of the more normal horizontal path.

Jan Reorganizes

Jan at Thread Medley has been overwhelmed by unstitched projects recently, so she did a little reorganization.  Now she can't see anything but the projects in her current rotation and their threads are close at hand.  No visiting the stash and becoming stressed out by everything that is there, screaming your name!  Very clever, Jan.
