I just learned that Absolutely Needlepoint in Miami, Florida moved in February but the shop hasn't updated their website. Here is the new address—
13869 South Dixie Highway
Miami, FL 33176
Hopefully their phone number is the same.
http://absolutelyneedlepoint.com
Many thanks to Simone for discovering this and alerting everyone at Needlepoint Nation on Facebook.

Sheena Mixes It Up UPDATED

stitches
If you don't follow Sheena's blog, you will want to sign up to get notices when the newest thing goes live. She always has a wonderful stitch, great photos and a fun attitude so this is a Must Read. This week's posting is especially great for me since I adore Asian-themed canvases as she features not one but TWO great background stitches for these types of canvases.

I never would have thought to use them both in the background. They look fabulous! Thanks, Sheena.
UPDATE: Sheena adds another Asian-themed design, this time from one of Betty Chen Louis' designs.

Free Alphabets

Yarn Tree
Thanks to Rachel Donley Needlepoint, I have a link to several alphabets for those who want to add names or initials to their stitching. These are from the Yarn Tree.

The American Needlepoint Guild has a nice graphed alphabet on their website, too. I often use the "chop" that is diagrammed here to sign my stitching. This was created by the late Mary Duckworth.
