A New Finisher (Averyclaire) UPDATED

Thanks to Facebook, I learned about a new finisher. Let me introduce Averyclaire.   It's fun to browse her website and get to know her as she posts about finishing, her quilts and needlepoint and cross stitch, and more.

UPDATE:  I just heard from Avery Claire herself.  She wrote:  "Just to let you know, I do not do finishing on larger needlepoint pieces such as pillows. I consider that "home dec" and I prefer to keep my finishing to small pieces. Thank you!"

So if you need a pillow made up, AC isn't the place for you but send her all those cute ornaments and stand ups you have stashed under your bed.

Are You Shopping for a Slate Frame? UPDATED

Most needlepointers do not use slate frames (they are more common in England and for Japanese embroidery) but in case you are in the market for a new one, consider asking Rachael Kinnison to make and decorate one for you.

UPDATE:  Mary Corbet talks about Rachel's frames and slate frames in general.  She also lists places where you can get them in the USA.  If you are in the market, you'll want to hear what Mary has to say.
