I do feel part of this group already. I've been looking at some of your pictures and just know that I belong here. For other forms of embroidery I use a frame but the rigid texture of canvas means I don't need so much equipment so I usually have a small canvas-work project which I stitch on journeys. Recently I have been using plastic canvas and have made cases for my scissors and pinking shears using oddments of yarn left over ffrom larger projects.

I know I've been very quiet for a while. Thanks to all of you who continued to move ahead with the group project and gallery night.
I will catch up soon, but I am still moving very slowly. Welcome to all the new members! We are really getting a good sized group here...enough to venture out into more group projects and sharing. Please share interests in what you would like to see from our group in the "ideas for needlepoint group projects".
I will be adding a few ideas of my own.

I just joined this group. I used to do alot of needlepoint but when I started quilting it took a back seat. I would like to do more of it in the future.

Can't believe I didn't do this whenever I joined but obviously it must have been in June when I was not sure whether I was coming or going...I have been doing needlepoint for the last 35 years, but my Grandmother taught me when I was about 10 years old...Today I design and stitch needlepoint and temari balls. I have sold designs through Rainbow Gallery and there is one on their website for free. I published a book, Diagonal Darning...and am in the process of revising and redoing this book. I also do needlepoint graphs and teaching stitch guides for other teachers and designers. I also do stitch guides for painted canvases. I look forward to sharing ideas and brainstorming with all of you here and on my blog.
