Mary Made the Cover!
![]() |
The Nov.-Dec. 2015 Needlework Retailer |
http://pocketfullofstitches.blogspot.com/2015/02/finishing.html
By coincidence, Stitch By Stitch in Larchmont, NY has the canvas, guide and threads on sale as a package deal. I'm pretty sure the guide included is Mary's but you can always ask before you add this to your list for Santa Claus.
http://www.stitchbystitchneedlepoint.com/so/3L3ngDkv?cid=68bf7f60-0c49-4a61-b2cc-4a9944579072#/main
Your local shop can also pick up the canvas and guide for you from Needle Deeva if you prefer to use up your stash of wonderful threads and save a little money.
Congratulations on being our latest Cover Girl, Mary!

Robin Went to Texas UPDATED ALREADY
Robin went to Texas to visit Pocket Full of Stitches and lead their annual retreat. Doesn't this sound like FUN?! There were twenty students which means Robin has added twenty new stitch guides to her catalogue. You can see the designs and get glimpses of Robin's magic underway on her blog.
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-pfos-wrap-up.html
UPDATE: Patricia, the winner of the Turbo Needle Award this week, has finished her Autumn Blossoms piece from Labors of Love using Robin's guide from the retreat. Isn't she beautifully dressed?!

Sources for Stitch Guides for Moonlight Tea Party
![]() |
Moonlight Tea Party Courtesy of 2 the Point |
Recently I got a message from someone who was hoping to find a stitch guide for Tapestry Tent's Moonlight Tea Party (pictured above). I did a little online research and checked with the stitching mavens at Needlepoint Nation on Facebook and discovered several sources. I thought since this was a popular canvas, I would list all the places that have guides here to help out other folks who want to stitch this with the help of a stitch guide.
Terry Christopher Costillo did a stitch guide for this piece. You can contact Terry at her shop, 2 the Point, to inquire about the guide. Actually, the photo above is courtesy of Terry. It shows the stitched version done by a customer at 2 the Point following Terry's instructions.
http://www.topoint.com
Pocket Full of Stitches probably has done a stitch guide for this canvas. You can inquire at the shop or email them at pfos@pfos.com. No one at the shop has stitched this, they've just written a guide, according to my informant.
http://www.pfos.com
BeStitched is working on a stitch guide for this right now. If you want a copy as well, inquire at the shop.
http://bestitchedneedlepoint.com
Tony Minieri has done a guide for this piece, too. You can reach him at The Edwardian Needle but since the shop is moving to a new location now, it is closed. You will have to call and hope that they can help you despite being surrounded by moving boxes! The shop should be in their new place in early September 2013, by the way.
http://www.theedwardianneedle.com/contact/
Both Amy Bunger and Robin King have done stitch guides for other designs in this series. You probably can reuse parts of those guides to stitch Moonlight Tea Party. To see Amy's pricing on Witch Reading, scroll down toward the bottom of this page from her shop stitch guide catalogue. You will have to buy this canvas or the thread kit for it to be able to buy the stitch guide from Amy, however.

You can see more about Robin King's Halloween March by looking at her catalogue of available stitch guides here.
http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com/p/stitch-guides-by-robin-king.html
Hope this helps fans of the little witch series stitch their Moonlight Tea Party.

SHEAR Creations Canvases with Guides UPDATED
Bet you are familiar with the Stitches for Effect books. Did you know the authors (Suzanne Howren and Beth Robertson) also sell painted canvases, most of which come with stitch guides? Their company name is Shear Creations. They specialize in small designs with large empty spaces, perfect for embellishment.
http://www.artistscollection.net/Artists_Collection/SHEAR_Creations_Gallery.html
UPDATE: Pocket Full of Stitches posted photos of many Shear Creations canvases on their as part of a trunk show in the shop. Since many of the photos show the stitched versions which have guides, I thought I would add the links here. Enjoy!
