Sip and Snip

Twisted Stitches Needlepoint in Albuquerque, New Mexico has a gadget I've not seen before--a holder for both coffee and orts that clamps to a table.  Very clever!

Ann's Patriotic Ornament

Lucky Brenda had a class from Ann Strite-Kurz on Ann's Patriotic Ornament.

Ann Strike-Kurz is a fabulous designer, particularly of ornate backgrounds.  The Patriotic Ornament doens't seem to be on her website yet but there's plenty of other charts and classes to browse.  And then there are Ann's books...!

Exhibit Featuring Needlepoint Art by Willeta Billye Schley

Thanks to Janet Perry,  I learned about the exhibit of needlepoint done by Billye Schley.  You can see the video interview and get a look at some of her stitching here, and also listen to Dionne Warwick talk about needlepoint in her life.

The exhibit has ended but hopefully more of her stitching will be showed at local venues like Woodlawn in the coming year as it is very inspirational to have someone with her skills promoting our art.
