Ten Years of Just Cross Stitch Magazine UPDATED

As you probably know, cross stitch isn't my thing, but today's news will be a welcome one to folks who love this style of needlework and who have been collecting copies of Just Cross Stitch magazine.  The company is releasing ten years' worth of issues on a CD.  A searchable CD!

Here's an idea I'd like to see needlepoint designers use--greeting cards with cross stitch designs on them.  These are from Mirabilia.

More Amazing Finishing

Today I have more amazing finishing dished up for admiration. How about this child's director's chair?

CBK shows off the finishing of Starke Art at the bottom of their home page.  A heart shaped frame ornament created from your stash threads?  Wonderful!

Ruth Schmuff shows off three different ways of finishing her Zecca snowman mystery piece.  I love them all!

If you are in love with crewel embroidery, then you will be interested in reading about this year's retreat set up by Phillipa Turnbull in England.  It sounds like lots of history and stitching will be on the menu.
