What's the Point
Sheena has been on the road in Ohio and takes us to Louise's Needlework..,
http://www.sheenasstitches.com/impromptu-visits/
... and then to What's the Point? Needlepoint.
http://www.sheenasstitches.com/columbus-part-2/
Both trips have stitch diagrams and cat photos tossed in for free! Thanks, Sheena. I love your original stitches and getting virtual tours of some of the great shops I've only seen online is just icing on the cake.

Stitching a purse that is a tribute to someone you love and then carrying it in their honor is a fabulous idea!

I'm guessing this dates to the early 1970s. What do you think?
