No Cost Charted Needlepoint Trees and a Seminar Tree

My Silver Blue Tree has been published in the November issue of the American Needlepoint Guild (ANG) magazine, Needlepointers.  

I am calling this "no cost" instead of free because it is currently available only to ANG members.  If you are a needlepointer you should seriously consider joining ANG - one of your benefits is a magazine every other month filled with great free projects.  

For more information on ANG please go to:  www.needlepoint.org

Stitching in Alaska!

If you've always wanted to go to Alaska to see whales and bears, and you like to stitch, Funk and Weber Designs has the perfect opportunity - a stitching retreat at a real Alaskan lodge, led by real Alaskans.

Here is the recap for this year's trip:

Unfortunately I didn't get to go on this one, as I was on another Alaskan trip to photograph bears and whales.  It looks like the lucky people at the Funk and Weber Alaskan retreat got some pretty great photos and they also got to stitch.

Here is a photo from one of my prior trips.  Hope to see you in Alaska next year.

Nessie the Friendly Sea Serpent and the Dragonfly

Stitch guides are now available for Nessie the Friendly Sea Serpent, a set of three canvases, and for the Dragonfly.  Both of these canvases are by Di Hiller.  The canvases and stitch guides can be purchased from your local needlework shop.  Di Hiller is represented by Chris Lewis (chris@needledeeva.com).
