Holy smokes! We are having an enormous trunk show from Associated Talents! And by enormous, I mean they sent 675 canvases. That was NOT a typo. They sent us almost 700 canvases! Mind boggling. Cruise the AT website and shop like you mean it. All canvases in the trunk show are 20% off. The show will be here until December 24th.
Happy stitching, Susan
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. I have so much to be thankful for this year, most especially my Point of It All customers–thank you!
The Napoleonic bee napkin rings arrived just in time…don’t they look great?!
Special thanks to loyal On Point reader and POIA stitcher Bryson D. who gave me this tip for getting napkins wrinkle-free without ironing: After you wash them pull them gently but firmly from side to side & top to bottom so that they are smooth, with no wrinkles. Then place on a clean counter top to dry. If they are not drying quick enough feel free once they are fairly dry to turn over. (I love this no iron technique and it worked like a charm!)
Happy stitching,
Susan

Check out my finished Blue Bird of Happiness! Actually it’s a Blue Jay but let’s not get technical. Labors of Love (check out their website) makes these wonderful three dimensional birds. Each bird comes with two canvases (front and back) and feathers and a clip. It didn’t take long to stitch. I used all basket weave and mostly metallics.
We will be doing a Labors of Love trunk show in May 2012.
Happy stitching,

All of us at The Point of It All are going bananas over this portable, battery-operated Ott lite! It’s so lightweight; it can travel anywhere! Think about setting it up on the fold down tray on an airplane or on the bedside table at a hotel. THIS IS AN AWESOME PRODUCT! If you haven’t used an Ott product before, get thee to The Point of It All to check one out. These lights simulate daylight and make an incredible difference when you are stitching. Ott makes a tabletop version and a floor model (both have to be plugged in).
We have them all in stock…portable one is $42.
Perfect stocking stuffer, too!
Happy stitching,
Susan
