Tanja Teaches Framing
Labels:
DIY,

Tanja Berlin
Tanja Berlin is continuing to build out her new website, adding PDF files about various techniques, some of which are free and some of which are lessons to buy. I highly recommend her free file that teaches you how to mount your needlework on acid free board before framing it.
https://berlinembroidery.com/mounting-embroideries/
Framing is labor intensive and the materials are not cheap, so being able to at least mount your stitching on board prior to framing it is a really good thing to know.

Breaking News: Shop Closes, Shop Opens UPDATED
Labels:

shops,
Stitchers Garden,
The Stitching Post,
Threads Too
I just heard on Facebook that the Stitching Post in Midland, Texas is closing December 22, 2017.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/NeedlepointNation/permalink/1580478585362627/
I also heard there about a fairly new shop just outside of Red Bank, New Jersey, called Threads Too.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/NeedlepointNation/permalink/1580439705366515/
UPDATE: AND I am told there is a new shop in the Chicago area--Stitchers Garden is located at 1163 E. Ogden Avenue, Suite 713, Naperville, IL, which is just 30 miles west of downtown Chicago. Their website and Facebook pages are listed in the links below. Deb the owner says their hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10-5 p.m.

My best wishes to the closing shop's owner and to the new shop owner. Everyone is allowed to retire but we are lucky when someone new takes on the hassles of running a small business catering to needlepoint needs!

Suzie at Enriched Stitch just had an early Christmas design she stitched finished as a way of both having a fun ornament and remembering where she started from. She makes a great point.
