The Newest in Counted Canvaswork

Fans of counted needlepoint have cause to rejoice!   Laura Perin has just released a new set of four Christmas ornament designs called "Jewel Ornaments."   These are in shades of red and green, but not quite the traditional Christmas reds and greens.  However, you can stitch them in any colors you prefer.

If you are curious about Laura's other two Holiday Ornaments sets, here is Holiday Ornaments #1, based on traditional quilt patterns.

Here is Holiday Ornaments #2, which I couldn't find on Laura's website.  This also uses quilt patterns.

On the other hand, if you love Bargello and counted, then Liz Morrow has answered your prayers.  She has a new design, so new it doesn't have a name yet.  As usual, she plans to do other colors as she refines the instructions for this new beauty.  Stitch faster, Liz!
