Hello there! Its been quiet here on the blog, but I promise a lot has been going on off line. One thing I’ve finished this past week is my Centerpiece needlepoint pillow. (Note: The pictures for today stink. I had to edit them on my phone and they look way different on the computer. They...
Good morning! I’m stopping in to show you what I’m working on. I’m making another Feather Bed Quilt, but this time with the Field Study fabric I got for Christmas. I’ve got my feather halves made up. I think there are 56 of them? Something like that. I’ll be showing you more pictures as I...
I told you I’d make another one. Another Michelle My Belle Dress from Liberty Love, that is. I’m kind of obsessed with the pattern. I tweaked this one a little more. I tightened up the back a bit by folding the back pattern piece in 1/2″ on the zipper side, and I made the skirt...
A week or so ago, I had a hankering to do something different. I wanted to sew up some sort of small project unlike anything else I have going on. I picked up my copy of Anna Maria’s Needleworks Notebook knowing that it would have just what I was looking for. Her Nouveau Needle Cushion fit...

I just happened upon your blog in my quest of trying to decide which AMH kit I wanted to purchase. Your work is gorgeous! Did you order directly from her sight or do you have a store you prefer? Any direction would be appreciated. I’ve never done Needlepoint, but plenty of cross stitch. (I’m really a quilter, but definitely want to do more stitching.) just trying to find some good stitching sources.
I order all my needlepoint kits directly from Anna Maria’s shop! If you like cross stitching, you’ll love needlepoint. :)
