when viewing a finished pieces; and (3) because of all the wonderful stitchers, shops, vendors, and suppliers - everyone is exceptionally helpful, gracious, and just plain nice in this hustle-bustle world.
is just simply putting a needle in my hand and I can't or don't want to make all those decisions. That's when I pull out a counted canvas, where someone else has made all those decision for me. And third, needlepoint (like most other kinds of needlework) is
a stress reliever for me. I get crabby when I don't have enough time to do needlework on a daily basis. Plus, some of those canvases are gorgeous enough to hang on a wall unstitched (but why would I want to give up the pleasure of stitching them?). So, there
are four reasons why I love needlework. Can't wait to see what others come up with! Carol S.
pouring over stitch books to find that one special stitch and having in work in the appropriate space so rewarding. Not only do I stitch needlepoint for relaxation but gifts for family and friends all year long. Just yesterday I was teaching my 23 month old
grandson how to get the needle in and out of the canvas. He even helps me put stretcher bars together and hands me tacks one at a time. Pure joy having him take an interest in my favorite hobby. For the past several years I have taught 4 projects; bargello
Christmas ball, charted pillow, angel painted canvas and box Christmas ornament to a group of 15 local women with no needlepoint experience. Not only did they all finish their projects but many have gone on to stitch more projects on their own. Such a good
feeling to spread the world of needlepoint to others and support the LNS. I stitch needlepoint whenever and wherever I can. Awaiting delivery from my finisher of several Lee Faberge Easter eggs and a Stitch Its Easter sweater.
needlework - so instant gratification lol!
LOL that's like asking Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "How do I love thee...

life.

of needlepoint. I, too, feel as though I am connecting with ancestors and am passing on traditions to the next generation either by sharing my needlepoint skills with others, or by passing on gifts to friends and loved ones. Needlepoint is so relaxing, and
it makes me feel very proud of what evolved onto the fabric. Thanks for such a generous offer!
thanks for this giveaway. It is very generous.
connects me to people who went before me, my mother, my grandmothers and so on.
