New Items Spring 2017

Here are the newest items for the summer of 2017.  Latest on top.    I'll stop posting here on August 1.  See Destination Dallas tab for new items after that date.

Stitch By Stitch Larchmont has set up a Pinterest page where they post photos of new painted canvases as the designers alert them to the latest and greatest.  Even if you don't have a Pinterest account you should be able to access this.  (I hope)  Keep checking back to see what's new.

Kreinik Talks Scissors

Today's blog posting from Kreinik features the cross stitch designer Lord Libidan, who specializes in designs based on video games and science fiction books and television shows.  He's talking about scissors, something all of us use, even if we don't cross stitch.
http://kreinikthread.blogspot.com/2017/05/finding-best-cross-stitch-scissors.html

Of course Kreinik sells all the above, but it's still a useful discussion, full of ideas of scissor types that might work for you.
