| This colorful and elegantly simple Christmas Tree Ornament is hand painted by Christine Saunders of Eye Of The Needle.
The red, green and blue perfect circle shapes all have a gold top, which I have designed to be stitched with Kreinik Gold Metallic Braid thread. There is a red bow holding the balls together which is outlined in black.
I have included the black floss in the kit but I think the ribbon would be gorgeous outlined using the Kreinik Gold Metallic instead.
The Ornament is ... More Info

The design area is 8.5 X 7 inches. The ... More Info

| I think this is a great idea. Patt of Patt and Lee Designs designs needlepoint canvases to use up the many, many partial skeins of thread, floss or yarn all of us needlepointers always have.
The design area is 3 inches across. the entire canvas is 7 X 8 inches, it is 18 mesh.
This beautiful and colorful Christmas Tree Ornament uses 13 different colors, and not a lot of any of them.
It is always risky to use a leftover fiber for a new needlepoint project, you don't know if you have ... More Info

| I am excited about these Beginner Needlepoint Designs Patt and I have been working on. This is the first of them and I think it is wonderful.
We started with one of her excellent designs, the Shower Cat and simplified it, took out most of the exacting and difficult to stitch detail, to make this perfect for a novice needlepointer. Of course, an experienced stitcher can easily add their own details, and customize this. The design area is 7 X 8.25 inches. The entire canvas is 13 X 11 ... More Info

| From the moment I saw the design and colors of this graphic needlepoint canvas by Eileen Best I knew I would order it. While I fussed over the other items in my order, changed my mind again & again, I still and always wanted this canvas.
I think the colors used here are spectacular in a perfect layout.
Plus this design is just begging for a variety of Decorative Stitches to be used to stitch it.
This is a fairly large, Hand Painted design on 18 mesh canvas. The design area is a ... More Info

| Subtitled "and how to use them". I know this book does not really qualify as either a rare or a hard-to-find book but it is a useful reference for anyone who does needlepoint. I consider this book a *Classic Needlepoint Book*.
This is the large paperbound edition of this classic needlepoint book from the Dover Needlework Series. This book was first published in 1964. This copy was printed in 1977.
This is a used copy, but it is in remarkable shape it does not seem as if the book has ... More Info

This needlepoint canvas is suitable for beginners. It will include detailed and complete directions as well as my pretty good basic needlepoint instruction booklet.
Experienced stitchers should feel free to ignore them.
