Description: A place to share my needlepoint and connect with other stitchers.
It’s always a thrill to see my designs on the cover! Sometimes I just feel like playing with patterns on my computer. This particular time I was exploring the movement of Bargello patterns which is the focus of this small stitching project, Diamond Bargello Flags. I did the finishing myself. Even if you don’t stitch the project, there are also tips from Liz Morrow, thanks to Rinda Just who keeps her designs available online.
You can also see that Timeless Treasures From the Archives is a feature article in this issue. It launches a series of articles that I will continue in upcoming issues. I look through the archived issues focusing on educational articles that stand the test of time. This issue finds Nanette Costa reviewing the basics of needlepoint in a series of articles. Hopefully, members of ANG enjoy and learn from our past members.
When we introduced the project, From Dawn to Dusk by Textured Treasures, to my ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter this past fall, I stitched one of the motifs on 18 count in Christmas colors as a single motif for an ornament.
