Above are two Santa’s from Kelly Clark’s new monthly Santa series. I’ve done the stitch guides for them both. There are lots of easy, fun effects on them. I’m just crazy about the fiddler for March, I had so much fun stitching him.
Stitch & Zip (from Alice Peterson Co.) has announced a new size of Stitch & Zip cases for Kindles (and possibly other ebook readers). This such a great idea. Not only does it show off your needlepoint, it will protect the screen. If you are crafty, but not just in needlepoint, think about AMH’s DIY Journal Kit. It has a place for a needlepoint initial already in the cover and is blank, so you can create your own design.
Several of Fleur de Paris’ designers, have lovely new pieces. There is Epicerie, a charming FRench storefront from Sandra Gilmore of Once in a Blue Moon. Trubey Designs has a Hot Air Balloon Cushion for a child’s rocking chair. Finally, dede’s Needleworks has a delightful Polar Santa stocking.
All about Stitching has some delightful small designs for Halloween and Easter. Finish them on sticks and put them in a pail for a great decoration. They also have a charming Noah’s Ark footstool for a child’s room. Whimsy and grace has several lovely brick covers and a fantastic pansy clutch purse.
Jenny Henry specializes in geometric designs. You’ll love her series of ornament-sized round frame, perfect for a snapshot or school picture. Julie Mar ahs introduced a new line, Transitions, which marries traditional floral designs with some modern elements. Irises is just one of the canvases.
Julie Pishke has a fantastic shell-filled Beach Rug with a lovely striped border. Zecca has a very cool geometric backgammon board in green and violet.
More new stuff in tomorrow’s post.
