Remember these? my pot of gold in threads that is … the threads that Tony Minieri selected for me. Tell me who else is better at picking out these thread combinations? In a matter of about 27 seconds, well maybe a little longer than that Tony had selected these 3 gorgeous colorways for a very special charted design that will be in the very next issue of Needlepoint Now. The issue that will be mailed to you on or about January 8th.

If you would like to stitch this colorway as you see it here and won’t this be a great start for next years holiday decorating? This is what you will need to go shopping for:

6″ x 6″ red canvas, #22 tapestry needle, #10 beading needle

Splendor S1005 Cranberry

Planet Earth Pepper Pot Silk Kiwi 83

Carol Collections Waterlilies 025 Holiday

Sundance #11 Beads 4 Gold

The charted instructions will be found in the January/February 2013 issue of Needlepoint Now as soon as it arrives in your mailbox! Now you can be ready to start stitching as soon as it is in your hot little hands. The other colorways will be listed in the magazine too.

You don’t get the magazine? OMGoodness, we need to remedy that! You can subscribe right on line to Needlepoint Now or if you would rather call in your information, you can do that too. This would be a great way to start off your New Years, with a subscription to the magazine.

My Christmas decorating is all taken down and put away for the year. I did some organizing of threads, a little organizing of my house or should I say allot? dusting and etc and finished up by bringing a box or two of donations to Goodwill. All is left is the laundry, new work for the March/April issue of Needlepoint Now, more stitch guide writing and lots of stitching!

AlleyCat is making it challenging to see my stitches that need to be charted! I like to have that done before I send it to the finishers. and until next time…keep on stitching
