Eastlake Folding Tapestry Camp Chair
Those interested in Victorian murders (or Victorian tapestry design) will enjoy reading this.
The chair is described as a folding tapestry camp chair and it appears to be in the Eastlake style. The needlepoint is quite a bit like this although the wood of the chair in the Borden house is different.
These are found on the antiques sites in various conditions.

The Equestrian Wreath
Labels:

Horse Country Chic is horse-mad--and mad for needlepoint--so she was charmed by this equestrian-themed wreath covered in ornaments.
Its a lovely idea, whether you love bird ornaments, Christmas ones, ornaments for dogs and cats--whatever you love can go on an ornament for display all year.

Chandail Sells Ultrasuede
Labels:
Chandail,
Ultrasuede
I just stumbled across the fact that Chandail Needlepoint sells Ultrasuede fabric in 8x10 pieces.
That is perfect for a small pillow or standup or maybe 2-3 ornaments' backing. Best of all, you can call the shop and discuss colors and get intelligent help. The online fabric stores don't seem to speak DMC these days, so you can't request a blue that is similar to DMC #3843!
