What's been your favorite ornament that you stitched this year?

For Her Special Day

This beautiful piece was stitched by a lovely customer, Lee Willard. 

Here's what she shared with us;

"I am a long time fan of Chapel Hill Needlepoint and asked Nancy about the perfect present to make for my niece, who is getting married this coming January. Nancy suggested this wonderful picture frame which I did in three beige tones (yellow-, gray- and pink-beige Impressions).

I wanted it to be really "bridey" so I completed the background in white silk. I have a tradition of making my niece crocheted Christmas snowflakes and wanted to make her a wedding present even more special.

Thanks to Nancy, it is!"

Just, Wow!

Silver and Gold!

More great ornaments for Carson's Christmas!

What a lovely way to commemorate a special anniversary.

Who doesn't love a good burger and a side of fries?

And top it all off with a sweet treat.

I FEEL A LITTLE GUILTY...

Hi, My name is Hannah and I'm a knitter.

OK, I seem to have another little addiction too...

I got envious of my husband's cool needlepoint keychain after he was complimented on it by a stranger. 

So, I made one for me!

Is it wrong to needlepoint the word "knit"- is that cheating?

If it is, which one of them is "the other" craft?

Why does it make me feel so guilty?

Stay tuned for other little secrets I've been stitching.

Now I feel like I need to go look at some knitting magazines or cast on sweater with a nice Bargello pattern or something else to balance the scales.

SWEET AND SPOOKY!

These great characters are really getting me into the spirit of fall! 

Three perfectly frightful stand-ups to showcase your decorative stitches.
