House Hunt (Tapestry Fair), Winter 2016 Mystery by Ruth Schmuff

The newest mystery class from Ruth Schmuff will be Tapestry Fair's "House Hunt."
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2015/12/house-hunt.html

The design is exclusive to Ruth's shop right now.  I'll update this article as she stitches it since folks can always order her kits after class starts--or ends!

For Those Who Think Their Stocking Took FOREVER

This video from Julia M. Usher shows how to create a needlepoint pattern with royal icing on shaped cookies.  I thought stitchers who are sighing over how long their stitched needlepoint stocking is taking would enjoy watching this.
