Sequins Galore!

Do you love adding sequins to your needlepoint?  I just found some great new sources, courtesy of Sue Dulle.  This is the London Embroidery School's.  They have a lot of flat back jewels, too.

The Embroidery Den is a great Australian shop to browse.  I'd never heard of Colour Steams sequins but they are very pretty.  They also carry a wide range of Mill Hill beads.

The ANG Auction is Here!

It's time for the ANG Auction again and I nearly missed it!

https://ang.afrogs.org/?fbclid=IwAR0I2oM7iEEAzHxYwWhsIQwY57gL7UIETuWou5W9a3fZBPFpZEnIwfmQ2TE#/index

The auction is totally online and runs from February 20 through February 27.  You do have to register to bid (see "Register" at the top of the page) but you can browse for free.  This year shipping is free, so take a look at the bargains by clicking on the yellow View Auction button on the right side of the page.  There are canvases, books, charted designs, accessories and even finished items for your viewing pleasure.

Suzanne's Furry Boots

Suzanne over at the Hugs and Stitches blog has posted a Christmas ornament she stitched from her stash.  I love those fur-topped boots!

She also omitted stitching the border but the design looks great without a border.  The moral is raid your stash and suit yourself!

Two Identical Heart Boxes

Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont has two customers who stitched the identical little Tiffany blue heart box.    The boxes are stitched differently but they are both adorable.

I think the boxes and hardware are from Kate Dickerson, but I'm not certain.
