Robin is My Hero

Robin King has started to convert her listing of available stitch guides to make all the design titles clickable.  That way you can immediately see if that's the canvas you want a guide to.

Great idea, Robin!  Guess I will go that route myself.  It takes a while, folks, especially if you have written as many guides as Robin has.


The Tissue Toppers (Leigh Designs, Pat Miller, Sharon Quick and Carolyn Taggart)

Photo Taken by Osterville Needlepoint

Leigh Design's newest designs are a series of eight Tissue Toppers.  That's right, dimensional canvases that are folded into a cover for your box of tissues.  Colleen at The Needle Works took photos at the TNNA show in Las Vegas of the models on display and some of the unstitched canvases.

Three of the eight designs have stitch guides.  To see the finished models click on the photo of any with a guide.  You'll see the stitched canvas both laying flat and after West Coast Finishing made them up.  It's a different way to use your needlepoint and pretty enough to proudly display your Kleenex for guests.

More Stitch Guides from Ruth Schmuff

Ruth Schmuff has had another embellishment class weekend at Bedecked and Beadazzled.  You can see glimpses of what she laid out for her students on her blog.

Stitch guides for these beauties —canvases by Colors of Praise, Lani, Leigh, Rebecca Wood, Tapestry Fair, and Zecca— are now available.  Contact the shop for details.  The class just ended so everything may not be up on the website just yet.

By the way, another of Ruth's earlier embellishment classes has shown up finished.  This is called "Skating" and is from Lulu My Pink Turtle.  I think it is darling!
