Create Needlepoint!

Teaching Needlepoint is in the Air!

 

I just opened my new Needlepoint Now, Elizabeth’s note is about her plan to covert new needlepoint stitchers. Yesterday, we had a board meeting for Helping Hands, NeedleArts Mentoring Program and talked about getting more and more young people involved in needlearts.. Jane, of Chilly Hollow reposted Tisha’s post on Stitch & Play about creating a new needlepoint addict. Tisha sent me more pictures of Maria’s finished piece!

Who are you teaching to needlepoint today?

Needlepoint via Skype

When I saw The Enriched Stitch is offering needlepoint classes via Skype I was really intrigued. Then I saw owner, Suzie Vallerie, was teaching my PS18 Summer Squares! I emailed her and asked if I could join in. She said she’d love it. I have never Skyped before so I had to download the program. Since I’m working with my new mac who knows if it even did, but I clicked away and this morning we did a test drive. It worked!! Wed. morning I’m going to pop in and see if any students have any questions or if I can be another set of “hands” to help. I’ll let you know how it goes! 

This is from The Enriched Stitch Classes page:

Basketweave & Beyond! Take your stitching to the next level!  This colorful square samples 20 different stitches.  You will discover faster and more creative stitches for your next project.  Registration has begun.  Class is limited to 4 students.  $100.  Includes, canvas, threads, stitch guide and stretcher bars. Tentatively scheduled for Thursday mornings.  Call or email to reserve your place.   All classes can be done remotely via Skype.

Lilly Lovers Needlepoint

 

Yesterday was our fifth Sit & Stitch at Lilly Pulitzer at Legacy Village. This time we worked on MS15 Citrus Shift. It is so fun to sit in this wonderful shop, surrounded by all the new Lilly Summer Collection and needlepoint, lunch and chat. Molly took these cute pictures. Thank you to ALL for another great day!

Needlepoint Color Blocking

Color Blocking is a huge trend for spring fashions. It’s right up my alley because I love big blocks of color! This is my take on this trend:

I stitched the darker colored blocks with Planet Earth Silk and the lighter colors were stitched with RG Silk Lame` Braid. 

Look for more needlepoint color blocking at the June Show!

Pink Ribbon Needlepoint

My daughter, Sally King, is running her first marathon, the 26.2 with Donna. The marathon will take place February 12th, 2012 in Jacksonville, Florida and is an amazing way to bring awareness to Breast Cancer. 100% of the donations will go towards breast cancer research at the Mayo Clinic in association with The Donna Foundation!

I just designed a 3"needlepoint round, Pink Ribbon with a Winged Shoe, for this event. For each canvas sold, I will donate 100% to Sally's fund raising page. Contact Retail Needlepoint Shops to purchase the canvas.

Whether you are able to donate or this post just brings more awareness to the cause, please pass it along and be a part of the FINISH OF BREAST CANCER! Thank you all for your support!

Needlepoint Stitches

This is a snapshot of one of the pages in my PS18 Summer Squares Contemporary Sampler Teaching Guide. I walk you through each stitch, step by step. Stitch information, i.e. type, texture, pattern and thread count area, is provided for each decorative needlepoint stitch. I'm so excited to teach this class! This is a great teaching canvas for needlepoint shops!
