I just got my tote bag back from the Finisher! The magic of before and after needlepoint! Thank you Kristine!
Here’s the post about sending it off:
Needlepoint off to the Finisher
Part of getting ready for a national TNNA show is getting finished models stitched and finished for the show. One of my local finishers just had surgery and wouldn’t be able to help me. What to do??? Then I remembered “meeting” Kristine Kingston of Baltimore Needleworks (http://www.baltimoreneedleworks.com/) on Facebook, in our needlepoint group. She does beautiful finishing. So.... after a couple of emails my turtles are off to the needlepoint finisher. The idea is a fabric ruffle around the canvas and then apply it to the tote. Can’t wait to see what Kristine does with it! I’ll keep you posted.

I just got an email from a stitcher asking about needlepoint belts made into flip flops. Any needlepoint belt canvas can be finished into flip flops! I love them (I have 4 pairs). You must stitch a full 36". The way they are cut the finisher needs all that canvas. Your needlepoint shop will send the stitched belt canvas away and it comes back as fabulous flip flops. Start now and you too will have a great pair of flip flops this summer!

BL31 Golf Argyle Needlepoint Belt is stitched and off to the finisher! I'm having it finished as a traditional belt with brown leather and a brass buckle. It's for my son and he has been asking often when it will be complete! I'm so glad to say it's off to the finisher.

I'm back from taking my daughter to college! What is better than finished needlepoint waiting by the back door? Another "Kiss" finished!

Nothing is more satisfying than getting a needlepoint canvas back from the finisher and having it be everything you hoped it would be! I just got BL30 Tropical Fish Belt back. It is wonderful! And just in time for my daughter's birthday. Hope she loves it too. She picked the fish shape, design, threads and colors. It was her idea to do the overdyed threads on the fish to give them stripes. I love to see the magic of an idea in my head becoming a completely finished canvas. If anyone has a Barbara Bergsten Designs canvas completely finished please send me a picture. I will post it on my blog, facebook and web site!

I started this design in the depths of a frigid Ohio winter. I needed a Beach house!! Somewhere warm and tropical. Since a trip south wasn't in the cards I painted one. Stitching the bright colors and playing around with specialty threads really helped me through some gloomy winter days. I decided to frame the house so it could hang on the wall to help me dream of sand between my toes. Generally I'm not a framed needlepoint person but Edie at Art Etc. Picture Framing does an exceptional job. Thank you Edie!
The PS15 Needlepoint Beach House Stitch Guide is finished and online.

Working hard on "Kisses"! I'll keep you posted

Working out a new needlepoint shape is fun and exciting, but... what if it doesn't work out the way I'd hoped???
I came up with this "kiss" shape. Each canvas will have a different "Painted Stitches" top and a different word on the front. The half circle wraps around into a "kiss". The finisher would put a ribbon coming out of the top. I painted it, stitched it and sent it off. I think it turned out so cute!!
I was thinking of doing 12 Valentine's Day "kisses" but now think I'll do 4 Valentine's Day "kisses", 4 Halloween "kisses" and 4 Christmas "kisses" or should I do 4 Easter "kisses". Would love your opinion!! I need to paint FAST for the show.

I received this email and photo yesterday:
Hi Barbara:
I’ve attached three pictures of the finished product,(PS10 Large Retro Flowers) which I put into a tote. I really enjoyed doing this piece and have encouraged both novice and experienced stitchers to enjoy one of your pieces. It is especially nice to see the stitch guide and envision what stitches you were thinking of when you created the piece. Thanks again for a wonderful stitching experience, Your stitching friend, Pam Morine, Wilmington, NC
I LOVE seeing pictures of finished bbd needlepoint canvases. Please send an email and picture if you have any!

X41 Wreath Mitten is off to the needlepoint finisher! I can't wait to see how this new shape looks completely finished!

One of my favorite things is to see pictures of my designs stitched! Stitchers are amazing and take my simple canvas to places I never dreamed. I just received this picture from Anne in Virginia.
..." I have completed the stocking, and it is just fabulous. I did something a little different for the purpose of the class….for most of the ribbons, each half of the ribbon uses the same stitch but different fibers…in an effort to show the different effect that the various fibers will give you. I am just tickled pink with the results and everyone who has seen it is promising to take the class! " from email from Anne
Thank you so much Anne!! I love it. Especially the Bargello on the cuff. What a great idea if you don't want to needlepoint a name.

I just got X30 Small Ribbon Stocking back from the finisher. I love the look of the woven ribbons. Needlepoint "Painted Stitches" really work well in a ribbon motif!

One needlepoint belt canvas makes a pair of flip flops! These are one of my favorite needlepoint items. Barbara Bergsten Designs belts are on #14 canvas. They stitch up quick! Belts are great travel projects too!
