Free Stitch Guides for Little Bird Designs UPDATED

Little Bird Designs has started posting free stitch guides for some of their canvases on the Needlepoint of No Return website.  I expect more guides to appear here as this new company starts to grow.

Kimono with Stitch Guide

I was just thinking yesterday I'd love it if there were more stitch guides available for some of my favorite Asian-themed canvases.  Then I found this!  I think this is a Lee design, but for sure the stitch guide is available from Stitch By Stitch in Larchmont, NY.

Dream Fragment and Guide

Kimberly's Dream Fragment now has a stitch guide~
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2014/07/what-another-stitchguide.html

This is another wonderful winged insect and floral piece from Kimberly Smith, which you can pick up at Bedecked and Beaddazzled as a special summer treat.  The canvas comes with a guide (stitch guide writer unknown) but you can also pick up the thread kit if you prefer one-stop shopping.

Kim has already started stitch her next painted canvas, "Blossom."  There will be a guide when she finishes up!

To the Beach with Julie and Cynthia

Julie Mar and Friends has announced three new beach landscape canvases, all with stitch guides by Cynthia Thomas.

I am not certain but I think the three new pieces are at the bottom of the What's New section on the Julie Mar website.
