The issue is printed and is at the mail house getting ready to arrive in your mail boxes, soon! soon! soon! This is the biggest one ever at a total of 72 pages…wow can you believe that?

Allot of hard work and many, many files and so much more go into putting together one of the Needlepoint Now magazines. Countless hours are put in by numerous contributors between stitch guide writing, drawing the charts, editing, editing and even more editing and that doesn’t even take in account the hours it took to design the piece, stitch it, write the notes, make sure all threads are there and accounted for and then answer dozens of questions that we will have.

At the Studios all this work is done under nose supervision and paws of approval. The poodles are part of the studio activities each and every day and this is the way we walk to work. The poodles know when you are running late leaving the house and they start pushing you out the door! All you need to say to them is lets go to work and they run to the door…Shawnee usually leads the way barking as if to say “okay lets go! why are you poking around?” It was about 7:45am and the sun still hadn’t totally risen.

Shawnee leads the way and Reggie is behind him.

Mabel joins the group as she leads the boys to work.

Last but not least is Ollie. They are looking at me as if to say “well let’s hurry-up!”

What are you stitching these days? an extra hour of stitching for us on Sunday since the clocks fall back.

and until next time…keep on stitching
