Christmas Fun from Barbara's Needlepoint

Barbara's Needlepoint has showed photos on Facebook of two of their canvases that come with stitch guides.  This is Cindy's "Got Candy"...

Stitch Guides Available at Needlepoint.com

Needlepoint.com has collected all their canvases that come with stitch guides included on three pages on their website.  If you want to stitch with guidance, check out the variety available.

Most guides appear to be from A Collection of Designs (now Burnett and Bradley) or Kirk and Hamilton (now Kirk and Bradley) but there are CBK and Kathy Schenkel pieces listed, too.  I also spotted a Artists Collection piece and something from Charley Harper.

The Needleart Nut on Facebook

Pat Miller has set up a Facebook page with all her available guides listed.  You can see a photo of the finished model if there is one, otherwise you can see the unstitched painted canvas.  I think you can get hard copy guides but they cost more than a PDF file sent as an email attachment due to shipping costs, paper and ink, etc.  Here's the link--
https://www.facebook.com/Needleartnut-1206291192852901/

This makes it easy for those with a Facebook account to see the models for all the guides she's written.  Have fun exploring!
