Hanging Out with Laura Z.

The funny thing about the Internet is you meet people online that you likely never would meet in person.  It's a great way to broaden your horizons.  That's how I met Laura Zickus, who is funny and a wonderful stitcher as well as a computer website builder.  Want to make a new friend?  You can visit with Laura on her website which I just stumbled across.  She's using it to show off her stitching, motivate herself to finish those pesky works-in-progress, and just share the love of needlepoint.  Start browsing here--

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 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...!
