I'm not sure what issues it's in but I think it was from the middle of 2005 from looking at my archives. I also have lots of other scrap bag projects in my book Scrap Bag Needlepoint, you can email me (napaneedlepoint @ gmail.com - remove spaces) for places to get it. Keep Stitching, Janet Connie –

I am a needlepoint designer in the UK and I always bear this in mind when planning new projects. Clear flat areas of colour that are easy to see make stitching so much more relaxing. In my blog on my own website, I have a philosophy to do with the way so many people worry or apologise for the back of their work:- "NEEDLEPOINT IS FOR FUN, NOT FOR AN EXAM. Have you noticed that so many people, when they admire a piece of needlepoint, turn it over and study the back. Why do they do this? Would they check out your china for the mark on the back, or look for a hallmark on the silver? Well I suppose they might. But I want to assure you, it really doesn't matter. FAR more important is the ENJOYMENT that you have in your stitching. There is no need to worry about the back of the work when it will not be seen on the finished article. If the work is looking good on the front, just enjoy that and leave the back to take care of itself. Before you know it, your backs will start to look neat and tidy of their own accord!"
