Music Collage (Lani Needlepoint and Tony Minieri)

Sylvia shows off her "Music Collage" on Needlepoint Nation--and it's great!

She used a Tony Minieri guide on this Lani design.  Note that the right corner and side have been changed from the original design.  Tony lists this guide on his website so I assume that he has instructions in it for the original painting but you might want to ask before you purchase his guide. 

Your favorite shop can order the canvas from Lani or you can visit her website to buy directly.

Queen Elizabeth Stamp (Stitch Style)

Both the green QEII stamp...

...and the blue version have stitch guides.  I think the guides are by Jinny Barney McAulife, the owner of Stitch Style, but I'm not certain.  There is also a pink version but I don't know if there is a guide for it.
