Most of you are likely familiar with the publication but if not, it features “the world’s most beautiful needlework”. I signed up for a subscription when I first started…
I know it is fall now but thought it might brighten your day with a spring needlepoint sample. Having said this, I could certainly see experimenting with some fall colours for this.

A lovely example of pattern darning today. In April of this year I attended a stitch in. I had never attended a “stitch in” previously so really was not sure what to expect. I was in for quite a surprise when they were over 40 women gathered at a variety of banquet tables stitching all…
