Nice small size handbag nicely finished by M’s canvas house. Stitched in vineyard, silk lame braid and some beads too. Well stitched by Patty who has quite the collection of needlepoint purses and bags.

Custom design for Mary M.’s grand daughter. Going on a window seat at their beach house. Bedding is done in a similar color pink and sage green tiny plaid. Leave it to Marlene to do thee perfect finishing. Customer requested very plain, I know many elsewhere in needlepoint land go for more embellishment. Mary likes the understated.

| Canvas by J Child stitched by Joanne H |
Too bad this pillow doesn’t show better in pictures. The gimp braid looks too heavy to me but in real life the whole pillow is adorable. Joanne stitched this for her new great-grandson.

Not every pillow has to be over the top. The pansies are so explosive that I’m not sure anything more is necessary. Its big, wider than a chair seat, going on my customers bed.

| NEW! Hibiscus with Lemons by Melissa Shirley |
New this week also and thought it looked nice with the other two above! Nice for a table runner, window seat bench, or over a large doorway. (However my invoice refers to it as a bolster.) $225. Don’t have the dimensions handy but its wide maybe 10″ x 40″. Will post proper dimensions when I get it up in the online store.

| Darks by PepperPot Silks |
Oh and last but certainly not least Pepper Pot has arrived. I know your thinking “and this is what you choose to picture?” The colors are just wonderful, and in just one day I found 2 colors for pieces that I couldn’t find in any other thread line. The reason I chose these is just to show how they have lovely options for black. For the most part I’m not crazy about using pure black when that’s what the canvas may be showing. Now I have options!! These were taken in bright day light so while the blueberry appears navy in most situations it looks closer to black than blue. Unlike other threads I’ve brought in to the shop such as Felicity’s Garden and High Cotton I have a feeling Pepper Pot is going to sell itself.
