Goodbye to Some Krenik Metallics

Kreinik has put together a list of colors that are being discontinued because the base thread isn't available any more or the colors that are in such low demand, they will now be available as special orders only.  Sob!  4002 is my favorite Kreinik color of all time and I liked all the 4002-4006 series.

Time to see if any of the colors on the list are stocked at my favorite shops so I can have enough 4002 to get me though the next few years.

Needlepoint Now for March In the Mail

The latest issue of Needlepoint Now magazine is in the mail!  You can get a preview of the edition here. 
http://www.needlepointnow.com/wp-content/uploads/NN_NWSLTR_Feb14.pdf

The editor posted a note to subscribers on Facebook that if your copy doesn't arrive by the end of March, contact them.  The mailing rate allows the post office 30 days to deliver so you will have to wait until after that time has passed to know that your issue is lost instead of just hanging around at the post office.

Sandy's Spiced Tea

Sandy Arthur just announced her newest class,  "Pumpkin Spiced Tea." It's a charming pumpkin tea pot with leaves and vines and much much more to create.

This will be taught at the EGA Seminar this year along with one of Sandy's most popular classes, her "Diamond and Rubies" self finishing ornaments.  She's also going to be on the road teaching her "To the Beach" piece at NAN.  You are one busy lady, Sandy!

Hope Blog friends get to take some of these fun courses.
