Melita's New Rechargable Clamp On Light

Melita has a new rechargeable clamp on light. Just in case you are in the market for one that you can use with a rechargeable battery, she has photos and Amazon links.

Do shop around, though.  Amazon doesn't always have the best price, particularly for needlework items.  Books are often 10 times the price of what you'd pay in a needlework store.

The Deadline Approaches!

The deadline for signing up for classes at the Merrimack Valley Chapter of EGA's Biannual Seminar approaches!  You don't have to be an EGA member to go, although they have priority in class choices, but if you happen to be in Massachusetts the end of July, you should think about attending this fun event.

In Case You Aren't Confused Enough

In case you are not confused enough today, read Lord Libidan's research into needle sizing.

Yes, my head hurts too.  Need More Coffee.

Shirlee's Snow White

Shirlee at Needle and Hook is an expert in tambour embroidery, but she's dabbled in other forms of needlework, including needlepoint.  Check out this amazing adaptation of a fairy tale illustration!

It took her three years.  I am not surprised!

The Royal Wedding Stitch Along

The Crewel Work Company is sponsoring a royal wedding stitch along, with videos showing Phillipa's progress. I thought with the wedding coming up on May 19th you'd like to see the videos.
