Fusible Interfacing and Self-Finishing: The Movie

Needlepoint.com recommends using iron-on fusible interfacing on the back side of a needlepoint insert for your purses instead of using the sticky area to adhere your canvas permanently.

It is easy and quick and makes your needlepoint insert easier to insert and remove when you want to change the look of your self-finishing item.

Gay Ann Rogers' Sale Starts Tomorrow

It's the October sale you've been waiting for!  Tomorrow, October 19, is the first day of Gay Ann Roger's annual sale!  The theme this year is winter, so expect snowflakes, sparkle and icy blues and silver.  The sale of her counted designs ends on October 23 and some items (expect special events for limited quantities on Saturday and Sunday) are only available briefly as Gay Ann only has 1-2 of them.

Electric City by SharonG

Jan of the StitchLady blog is tackling SharonG's "Electric City."  SharonG did several lovely abstracts during this period but Highlights (which had just come out) is difficult to use.  I think today we'd use Silk Lame Braid.
