Tidbits From All Over

Many needlepointers are members of the Embroiders Guild of America and get the quarterly magazine from EGA.  Looks like EGA is going to start posting photos and information that they didn't have room for in Needle Arts online.  Here's the first tidbit, which adds to the December 2010 issue article on Agecroft Hall.

We've all been trying to help Sandy pick a background for her dragon.  Janet Perry writes about picking background stitches for the Christmas tree she is finishing.

Finally, Patt and Lee Designs talks about getting new stitch painted designs ready for the January trade show. I am always fascinated about glimpses of the businesses who create the wonderful things we need to stitch and I hope you find this fascinating, too.
