EGA's National Tapestry in Video

EGA's Kalamazoo Chapter has posted two videos of EGA's National Tapestry on YouTube.  Here are all five panels with something of their history.  The second link shows all the panels one at a time.  Click on the next panel number on the right side when you want to move on.

Normally this is on display at EGA's national headquarters but it went on tour and some of the chapter members took close up videos of it.  Enjoy!

Louise's Loves Beads (and Charley Harper)

The latest newsletter from Louise's Needlework has a wonderful article about using beads as threads on a Charley Harper canvas.  The leaves are all beads while the background uses beads as an integral part of the background stitch.  There are beads elsewhere, too!
