Free Swirly Tree from DebBee's Designs

Once again, Debbie Rowley has released a free chart for Christmas.  https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=586421866620268&set=a.536079218321200

You can head straight to her website to download this sweet little Christmas tree design.  There was a kit available when I wrote this but they sell out fast.

A Shop Visit, A Celebrity and More

BLG Mom has been in the San Francisco Bay Area to visit family recently.  She managed a trip to the new shop, Stitched Up Needleworks, met a celebrity, went on a field trip to Needlepoint, Inc., and a visit to the San Francisco School of Needlework and design.  In other words, she generally had a blast.

Here's the shop website, still a work in progress.

Here is Margaret Bendig's website.

Needlepoint, Inc.'s website.  They have an in-house artist who designs pieces you can't get anywhere else plus they have their own line of silk flosses that are lovely.

Finally, here is the website for the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design.  All of the above is a real treat and we thank BLG Mom for sharing her trip with us.
