BeStitched Needlepoint News

Summer is officially here, and if you're stitching a beachy canvas I have just the stitch for you! The Wave Darning Pattern lets you bring beautiful movement to water, and you control the water's "turbulence" with your stitch length. Give it a try!

I've come across a new favorite accessory that I just have to share! We received a group of clear plastic zippered pouches (think kit keeper style) that are just perfect for threads and accessories to accompany a canvas on the go! With any purchase of canvas or threads over $75, we'll personalize one with your name and send it with your order! Scroll down to see what I loaded into mine :) Classes and clubs don't count towards your spending total, but trunk show, preorder, and in stock canvas and thread all qualify!

This week's #MustWatchMonday is a beautiful ribbon embellishment - the Spider Web Rose! Large or small, once you have the technique down it'll be easy to make these fabulous roses on any canvas you choose!

The next bit of Anniversary Month fun is here! Buy 1 In Stock Painted Canvas, Get 1 Half Off! This excludes classes/clubs/trunk shows, and the discount is automatically applied to your cart at checkout. We just received a shipment of new canvases, so there are tons of options available! 

Today's #MustWatchMonday is pulled right out of a class lesson! This technique was used as the edge of the bustier in "Fallen Angel", and just yesterday I used it for some really fun hair in "Shop til You Drop, Dead" (picture below). You can use this in a variety of applications since you can change the curve and flow of the beaded strands using the stem stitch style. Enjoy!
