A Trip to Needlepoint for Fun

Melita's latest road trip was for the newish Needlepoint for Fun shop in Pennsylvania.

Needlepoint for Fun started out as an online only shop that imported a lot of English and Australian and New Zealand needlepoint projects.  They have a nice newsletter that comes out once a week, too. Or you can visit the How To section of their website.

Stitch Rock News

Stitch Rock has a new website!  Plus they have needle minders available for some of their most popular canvases from their Etsy store (such as that darling llama!) as well as canvases.  One of the nicest features of the website is thread parings, which is brands and colors the designer thinks go especially well with certain canvases.  That's a nice touch and one I bet shop owners will love as it makes it easy for them to pull threads for customers for Stitch Rock designs.
