Stitchers, *now* is a good time to let your LNS owners know what you are
interested in having them bring back from Charlotte.

designs, so far, and the models were beautifully stitched by
soemone who shall remain nameless but who's intials are Dori
Rhodes!!!LOL
I also will have a new Sampler *Home Again*. I'm very excited
since it is a bit different from my usual style AND it features
a poem by my Grandmother, Mary Eliza Bond Boord, who was a
published poet.
I'll also have the Tiny Tillies of my Hat Pin Collection which
are Painted Canvas with Stitch Guides (I have just one up on my
Home Page, so far)I've already received a request to convert
them to Cross Stitch and I'm giving the idea serious
consideration!
My Alphabet Book will be there as well. It has been a real hit
with Needlepointers!
Charlotte, here we come!!!!

other Designers at Charlotte!

you! I also want to cast my vote in with the requests that you think of

None that I know of....unless the needlepoint has lots of specialty
stitches that won't work on some types of fabric. I have done cross
stitch charts in needlepoint with no changes at all. You can do
back stitching on needlepoint if you use short stitches. I would
think it would be even easier to go from needlepoint to cross stitch
in fact.
Go for it, I say!
Kathy

just stitched are a direct translation from the painted canvas
version. They aren't on my site yet so you wouldn't know!! LOL
BTW - they arrived today, will go to the framer tomorrow and
they look great!!! Thanks for such a wonderful job!
Nan, basically you do a straight conversion of one cross stitch
for every tent stitch. Painted Canvas to cross stitch is usually
pretty simple. The big exception would be a NP piece with lots
of specialty stitches.
Tink
Doris Rhodes
Thank you so much. I'm so happy that you are pleased with the samplers. I
can't wait to see them on your website.
I love the idea of converting some of your needlepoint to cross stitch, but
I certainly wouldn't want to do it over one of your beautiful handpainted
canvases - is there any other way? Maybe I should just frame the canvas
itself - they are such wonderful works of art. How do you think that would
work??

You are making me blush!
Actually, some people DO just hang the Canvases. I think Lula's
dsigns are a perfect candidate for that but the addition of
wonderful threads and stitchers takes ANY painted canvas the
next step into a work of art. The collaboration between Designer
and Stitcher is one of the most exciting aspects of Painted
Canvas, for me. When I see what some of the Stitchers in my ANG
Chapter can do, I'm speechless!

but pretty different than my other sampler designs. Its name is "Le

Seems to be quite a few people in the needlepoint world that do buy
painted canvases to frame as is......I've been told many of my designs
end up that way.....very flattering....
A hand painted canvas is a work of art, each one an original.
I paint my canvases the same way I paint my illustrations.
I have several canvases hanging in my studio by designer
friends.....hahaha, enjoying them as is....a pleasure to look at
everyday and know that "someday" I can even stitch them for more
enjoyment!
I feel the same awe Tink, in seeing what stitchers can do with a canvas
design....truly amazing to see individual interpretations of similar
designs.....there have been quite few times looking at these stitched
pieces that have inspired me with new ideas and taught me new
techniques!

At one time, it never occurred to me that many people couldn't
draw....in my then childish mind, I thought, if I can do it, so can
everyone else! I really didn't know.
However, I'm sure you have many talents of your own and can do many
things I can't do.......
One drawback to living with a paintbrush in hand is not getting any time
to stitch......

is a small needlebook and a scissors weight)

fun design that would appeal to people on all different levels of stitching,
yet would be a fairly quick piece to stitch up as a gift or to hang in your own
home!
Just so you know, Jodi also wrote the poem that is included...here's a
hint..."The perfect tree, some pretty lights; Candy canes and snowy nights...."
I know you'll love this one! I promise to let you know as soon as we have it
on the web site, but it WILL be there at the Charlotte show! :-)

.... From EARTH THREADS, Betsy will be introducing (among others) her FIRST
Christmas Stocking ... a full sized stocking done in silks!!!!! (She's very
very proud of this design and I, for one, can't wait to own it!!! <g>)
BLACK SWAN will be introducing a new Flower Angel (Magnolia) with color
palettes to stitch her in white or in pink ... and three new tiny designs ..
The Butterfly Collection (these are incredible, with a decorative bead border,
and you can stitch them separately or together as one project) ... also will be
offering a LIMITED EDITION DESIGN and a Butterfly BEAD kit!!!!
THREADBEAR CREATIONS - watch for a "Tree For All Seasons" ...a series featuring
seasonal and holiday-themed ornaments to display on a wooden dowel 'tree' all
year round! You can get a sneak peek if you go here:
http://www.threadbearcreations.com/
R&R REPRODUCTIONS will be introducing several new sampler charts (Ann
Harper-1790 and Elisabeth Pratt-1840) in addition to more hand dyed fabrics!!
And the second in their new "Borrowed From The Past" kit line .. "Honor Thy
Father" which includes two complete charts, handdyed 30ct Linen and a wooden
easel .. great tribute to dads of all ages!
HEART IN HAND - If you've not been to their website yet, you should .. you can
get an actual glimpse of three of the new kits to be premiered at Charlotte -
http://www.heartinhand.com/new.html
you can also see what's NEW from THE TRILOGY right now (well, actually will be
at Charlotte if your shop is not on their auto ship program as those shops are
already receiving these.
TWISTED THREADS - again, the shops on her auto ship program already have
these, but these are NEW to Charlotte ...and look at her "Needle Notes" to see-
http://www.twistedthreads.com/
THE SWEETHEART TREE - Sandra will be introducing her new Teenie Tweenie Heart
Series for 2001 at Charlotte ... "Tapestry Heart" will be the first design in
the series, depicting the month of January. A Sterling Silver Heart Charm with
a turquoise inlay will decorate this small by ornate heart design. (The new
series will feature Sterling charms with Gem/Crystal Inlay!!!!) This is a
different looking style than her 'usual' stuff ... an elongated
folk heart shape and almost has this wonderful Pennsylvania Dutch folk look to
it (IMHO!).
THE ARTISTS OLLECTION/HEARTSTRINGS - there will be Another LIMITED EDITION
Christmas KIT ... I've only seen a small black and white pen drawing (no detail
.. and I'm not exactly sure that "this" is the drawing of the kit <vbg> but
here goes!) ... picturing a Santa on one side of a Christmas Tree and having a
tug of war over decorations with a Reindeer on the other side ... possibly
entitled "Santa's Little Helper". The Artists Collection says that they will
have
lots more 'surprises' too!
SHEPHERD'S BUSH - They NEVER give us sneak peeks, but this one says it will be
available in SEPTEMBER .... "Blackberrie Sampler" ... stitched on a soft
hand-dyed fabric with silk threads in shades of berry, plum, rose and grey
greens. Hand painted silks and a hand-crafted button will be included in the
KIT. This shows one of SB's "earth people" at the very top with a sheep on
either side of him and rows and rows and rows of band stitching and floral vine
motifs. This looks quite wonderful!!!!!!
WEEKS DYE WORKS - I've heard a 'rumor" that there will be 5 new colors coming
... Lemonade, Cherry Vanilla, Sophie's Pink, Robin's Egg and Lilac.
JUST NAN ... I'm sure you've seen her new items by now, but if not, get thee to
her website and see them all: http://www.justnan.com/whatsnew.htm
PEGASUS ORIGINALS for you MARTY BELL fans ..... 3 new Marty Bell designs.
"Sing a Song of Christmas" which shows carolers in the snow in front of a snow
covered cottage decorated for Christmas.
Parsons Porch which is another beautiful porch scene to follow-up to the design
Brenda's Porch. And, "Birdsong Garden" features a stone walkway that winds
through a garden loaded with flowers which leads to a seating area near with a
birdhouse.
So .. there's some more hints for you! :)

Dori,
Thank you for the kind words on my designs.
A scissors weight is the same as a scissors fob. It is something that is
attached to your scissors(usually with a ribbon or twisted cording) through one
of the handles. In the case of the Remember Me Sewing Pocket
(http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/4801/Remember.jpg), it looks like a little
square pillow. This one actually has one of the 2000 dollar coins in it to
give it a little bit of weight. I find that I am less likely to lose a pair of
scissors if they have something attached to them. Besides they are fun to
stitch and fun to use.
Ellen
JavaJodi
Charlotte. This one was so fun to design, too. I think a lot of
people will enjoy it. It is a nice piece to finish quickly as
Melissa said, but is a good size - about 12 inches long! I can't
wait to get people's reactions after it is out on the market.
