So, you want to learn to needlepoint? Well, my friend, you’re in the right place. You see, I’ve been a stitcher for a reeaaalllly long time. My grandmother taught me how to do the continental tent stitch when I was nine years old – on a canvas that looked very much like the one in the picture above. I also owned a needlepoint shop for 14 years – and I have an online “learn to needlepoint” class called Needlepoint Made Easy. 🙂
Stitches, stitches, and more stitches! Oh. My. STARS! There are soooo many canvas embroidery stitches that you can use to embellish your hand-painted needlepoint canvases. So, how do you keep them all straight? Create a stitch notebook, of course! And that’s exactly what I’m going to show you how to do here today. Sound good?
Terrific! Let’s dive in…
Just this morning, I was chatting with my friend, Lisa, about a holiday gift that she could give to her trainer who’s an avid needlepointer. And I began to think about all the other folks out there who might be in a quandary about what to get the special stitchers on their holiday gift lists this year, too. So I’m gathering up ideas that you can pass along to your friends and family when they ask you what you’d like to find under the Christmas tree…
