koi needlepoint purse from Clara Wells
Clara Wells Needlepoint has an interesting approach to designing her canvases, She has seven different “collections”, each using a similar print, available in several different forms to make needlepoint fashion accessories. The Koi Collection bag is pictured above, other piece ins this collection include a belt, mule, clutch band, and cuff. The other collections include similar items. This a such a cool way to get a coordinated look.
Robbyn’s Nest Designs has a neat series of ornament-size Mandalas in lot of colors. These geometric pieces would make great needlepoint. The Artist’s Collection has new witches from Mile High Princess and HeartStrings as well as new trees from SHEAR Creations.
Patti Mann has an adorable baby sampler. It takes the iconic “Hello My Name Is . . .” name tag, put it in pink or blue and adds the baby’s information. Too Cute! The Eilizabeth Turner Collection has banners available for any university.
As always, Melissa Shirley Designs has tons of new stuff. Highlights include simply luscious single flowers done as purses or as pillows. There are also a set of the lovely geishas, in a traditional Japanese woodblock style in several versions. Two new sets of pears, this time in gold or pink, and brightly colored candy canes have been added to those popular series. There are also new stitch guides, more of her realistic birds and bugs, and some wonderful butterfly purses. For Halloween there is a candy corn tree skirt, candy canes, and a great series of ribbon candy. There is just too much here to list.
CBK Needlepoint Collection has a series of kid’s designs that a bright, clean, and are so fun you’ll want to stitch them. What’s the Point? in Ohio has some great needlepoint boxes that come with Fimo flowers to attach to the top.
patchwork needlepoint canvas from JP Needlepoint
JP Needlepoint has lots of new designs, including a series of affordable, yet elegant, canvases. Some of their things I liked best included a line of 4″ round state flags (I just adore Arizona), lots of whinsical figures, and these wonderful “patchwork” patterns, available in several different colors.
Custom House now has a chartpack of Karen Hauck’s King of Beasts available. The Caron Collection has a painted canvas version of their lovely charted Starry, Starry Night available, along with several other quilt-inspired pieces.
Frosty needlepoint canvas from Associated Talents
Associated Talents has lots of new stuff, including new bracelets, lots of new ornaments, a charming new set of initials in bright citrusy stripes, I just love these “sayings” pieces. There are five designs in all, available in two sizes. The small is on 18 mesh and the large on 13. The design is exactly the same, so you can choose the mesh size you prefer.
That’s it for this year’s June TNNA. I hope you found lots of new goodies to stitch, I know I did.
