Creative Stitches and Gifts Guides

Creative Stitches and Gifts in Dallas has four employees that do stitch guides for anyone who asks.  The cost is twenty percent of the price of the canvas.  If you happen to live in the area and need a stitch guide for a piece that doesn't have one already, this is the place to start.

Stitch By Stitch with Guides

Stitch By Stitch in Larchmont, NY has added a stitch guide page to their website.
http://stitchbystitchneedlepoint.com/stitchguides.html

Click on the thumbnail photos to explore.  I spotted a wonderful woodland Santa from Amanda Lawford, several great Charley Harper pieces,  seasonal doors that might be from Rebecca Wood, and lots more great things I can't identify.  It's another great resource for the stitcher who needs a complete kit or who wants a guide for some learning.
