Weather and Needlepoint!
My two most popular canvases for May…
Weather and stitching often goes hand in hand. I see comments about cold, rainy weather being the perfect stitching day all the time. Or its too cold to do anything but stitch. I owe our horrible winter to the popularity of these two canvases! Needlepoint can take us away. Help us dream about places that are warm and sunny. It’s amazing to me that a needle, thread and painted canvas brings this much happiness!

New Needlepoint Designs are all Packed!
I’m packed!! It’s a challenge to pack up for for a 10’ x 10’ booth in two suitcases. This is the first time I’ve had enough room to put a full size panel on the floor to layout the setup. Can’t wait to see if it works. I’ve tried doing the layout on the computer. It did not work. I’ll post pictures as soon as the show opens. WiFi permitting. Can’t wait for Sand, Surf & See … Needlepoint Shop Owners!

Needlepoint Class!
Back to school is everywhere. Especially in the world of needlepoint. Barbara Bergsten Designs loves needlepoint classes and I have many designs painted especially for the perfect class!
One of my most popular “Painted Stitches” designs is PS18* Summer Squares. It has a teaching guide so even the novice teacher will have a wonderful success.
I designed PS28* Double Squares as a sequel to Summer Squares.
PS21* Small Stacked Stitches and PS22* Small Zig Zag Stitches are great small canvases packed with fun stitches!
PS07 Painted Stitches Palm, PS02 Painted Stitches and PS12 Painted Stitches Ribbon are perennial favorites.
Santa Stitches are a fun way to learn new stitches and try out specialty threads
Here’s the link to all my “Painted Stitches” needlepoint canvases and to all my Stitch Guides.
Remember I have over 30 Stitch Diagram Sheets from Barbara Bergsten Designs just Click, Print, Needlepoint!
Hope you enjoy learning something new this fall!

The Modern Quilt Movement and Needlepoint Inspiration!
This winter I took a “Quiltcation”. I was wandering around the world wide wide looking for post winter show inspiration and came across The Modern Quilt Movement*. I learned to quilt about 10 years ago and admired the art quilts that were so popular. I tried my hand at traditional and nontraditional quilting. I liked it, alot. Life went on and needlepoint became my focus. I carved out a week this winter and made a quilt for my daughter. This was happening during the Quiltcon in Austin. There was so much energy and inspiration at this first ever Quiltcon I got swept away. The whole experience was great fun.

Sally’s quilt back
The “Quiltcation” did the trick! I have new needlepoint designs inspired by The Modern Quilt Movement for the TNNA Summer NeedleArts Trade Show Booth #1509. (PS. needlepoint canvases are a more manageable size than a quilts.)
Some quilts that energized me!
*“Modern quilts are primarily functional and inspired by modern design. Modern quilters work in different styles and define modern quilting in different ways, but several characteristics often appear which may help identify a modern quilt. These include, but are not limited to: the use of bold colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and alternate grid work. "Modern traditionalism" or the updating of classic quilt designs is also often seen in modern quilting.”
