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...
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...
How have things gotten so insane for me? I’m doing so much lately, and that has left me with so little time for sewing. I hate that. Sewing is such a huge part of my life that I really feel off when I don’t get to sew as often as I would like. I finally...
My sisters got me a new AMH needlepoint kit for Christmas. Its been my evening companion nearly every night. I’ve gotten to a good “stop-and-take-a-picture” place, so I’ve got to show you my progress. I’m hoping to be halfway done by the end of the month so I can get another needlepoint kit! Its such...

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. :)
