Flowers and Brocade (Patti Filshie Hoffman and Alice Peterson)

Patti has just finished stitching this floral and brocade piece from Alice Peterson and a stitch guide will be available shortly.  I think you are supposed to contact Enriched Stitch to get a copy of the guide, although Patti doesn't say.

173 Stitch Guides (Needle Works)

I was over visiting The Needle Work's website this morning and noticed that they have 173 stitch guides for canvases available.  Some of the guides are included with the canvas listed and some cost extra, but it's still a huge selection to browse.  Something for everyone!

Beach Roses (Cooper Oaks)

Enriched Stitch just announced a stitch guide for this tiny basket of roses sitting on a dune. Suzie visualizes it at a beach wedding ring bearer pillow but it would make an equally charming ornament to hang on your bulletin board at work to give you inspiration through the long work week before you can escape to the beach again.

A Bird's Eye View of the Swamp (Eleanor Grosch and Gale Washington)

I spotted this bird's eye view of turtles and an alligator last January on a shop blog but it never appeared on Ruth Schmuff's online shop.  I wondered what happened to it because I thought it was fabulous!  Now I know where it was--it was with Gale Washington who has done a magnificent job stitching it.   Every detail is perfect.

You can pick up the canvas with Gale's guide included via the Bedecked and Beaddazzled website.
