Kimberly often mounts her original needlepoint designs in shadow boxes with a beaded edge.  She reveals all in this very useful tutorial that explains just how she does it.

Ghost Stitcher Client ID #9865, Project 50008 UPDATED

Did you use Ghost Stitchers, the update New York stitching service that closed unexpectedly in the late summer of 2013 when the co-owner died?   I wrote about this last year and this weekend one of the ghost stitchers turned up with a project they would like to return to their owner.
http://chillyhollownp.blogspot.com/2013/10/fyi-ghost-stitchers-is-no-more.html

It is a counted cross stitch project from Sunset.  The client id is 9865 and the project number is 50008.  If this is yours, let me know by commenting here or email me at chillyhollow at hot mail dot com.  The ghost stitcher would like to return the project but they don't know who owns it.

Spread the word, ok?  Thanks.

UPDATE:  The owner of Project 50008 has surfaced so if you have this project, please let Sheila at solsufka@xplornet.ca know.

A Needlepoint Corset

I have to admit I've never seen anything like this!

The finisher who created this is Vikki's Stuff. Here is her website.  I didn't find the corset there, sadly.

Many thanks to Bettie for spotting this and for Cynthia who knew the finisher who created it.

Old Paternayan Colors Converted

Cecilia found a list of the old Paternayan colors converted to the newer numbers online.

I don't know if the "new" numbers are those that are available now or not.  I'm waiting to hear from Cecilia where she found this information online.

Threadaholic Alert: Aurora from The ThreadGatherer

There's a new thread available from The ThreadGatherer, a mix of kid mohair, silk and nylon, that is called Aurora.  You can see the colors and read how to use it on The Needlepointer's website.
https://www.theneedlepointer.com/product/aurora-by-the-threadgatherer/

There are even better photos of skeins on the ThreadGatherer's website although they don't have as many colors shown right now.  It looks like a lovely thread if you need a touch of sheen for that special sweater or outfit on a canvas.  Bet it makes spectacular fur and witch hair, too!
