• "Painted Stitches" Needlepoint Palm Tree

  
  Create Needlepoint! — Authority: 120
    This is my newest Painted Stitches needlepoint design. It is a 6" x 6" square on #14 mesh. The idea behind the design is "sister stitches". Each colored frond is a "sister stitch" to the opposite frond. The background will be tent stitch in black. Ann suggested the black and I think it will give a ...

  Craft Gossip — Authority: 159
  I admit it: I’m a miniature fanatic. I have a 1:12 dollhouse. I love all things small — the tinier the better — especially miniature needlework. So I am crazy for Anja’s Dollhouse , a hobby site where Anja displays not only her dollhouses but also her incredible miniature knitting and needlework. If you ...

• Give the Gift of Needlepoint

  
  Nuts about Needlepoint — Authority: 473
  One of the nicest things you can do for someone is to share something you love, by teaching them. We love needlepoint, but all too often beginners are intimidated or the cost of classes (in time or money is too high). But still we want to share the joy we take from needlepoint and get them started easily. That’s ...

• Tutorial — Fabric Frame Weights

  
  Nuts about Needlepoint — Authority: 473
  If you stitch your needlepoint on stretcher bars and don’t use a stand of some kind, you might want to consider using a frame weight. Frame weights work best with larger canvases, you stitch near a table and use the weight to counterbalance the part of the canvas away from you against the table. One of the most ...

  Create Needlepoint! — Authority: 120
  I finished 12 needlepoint penguins. I definitely think 12 is a waddle! Im open to painting more but now I have to do the work on them. Painting a design is the easy part. Now they need to go to the service. That takes a lot of preparation. Each penguin has a decorative stitch on its scarf. Im going to put together an ...

  Nuts about Needlepoint — Authority: 473
  I love that Jane in Chilly Hollow has been talking about scale in backgrounds on her blog. And I just adore the Noh mask she’s blog stitching. She picked a great background, from Needlepoint Now. When I was reading about it, I was hoping she’d show us how to do it, because I LOVE it! And she did, in an ...

• Jersey Continues to Go Green: Good News on Two New Green Residential Developments in Jersey

  
  greenbuildingsNYC — Authority: 120
  Were pretty up front with our pro-Jersey bias here at gbNYC. Stephen and I are both sons of that superfund-y soil, after all, and after several decades of environment-intensive Jersey jokes -- medical waste washes up on your beaches one time and you hear about it forever -- its kind of empowering to be able to ...

  It is a lovely canvas. Someone has givewn it to you, or you’ve found it at an unbelievable price. There’s only one problem. It’s partially stitched, but hasn’t got the threads with it.

• Whipped Backstitch Tutorial

  
  Nuts about Needlepoint — Authority: 473
  Whipped Backstitch is one of my favorite stitches. It’s easy to do and it makes smooth rounded shapes. Not many stitches in needlepoint can do that. You can use it to outline round shapes (like the bubbles in Wicked, above). But where it really shines is to make letters. I used it for the letters in Happy ...

  POSSIBILITIES, etc.! — Authority: 114
  I very much enjoy using the pretty threads and other materials for needlepoint that werent available to us in the decade of the 70s - and also the imaginative things we can do with them. What I like doing most, however, is creating what I call "special effects with simple materials." These napkin rings that could ...

• Dollhouse Scale Christmas Stocking Kits

  
  Nuts about Needlepoint — Authority: 473
  Maybe it’s because my eyes are not the best. I can’t stitch with my glasses on and I can’t see small with them off. Or maybe it’s because I’m fascinated by tiny things, but I have always been enamored of Janet Granger’s lovely dollhouse scale rug kits, Now thanks to Denise of Craft Gossip, I have even ...
