stitches for needlepoint patchwork heart sampler, designed by Janet Perry

Did you know that sapphires are just about the only gem that comes in every color of the rainbow? From pink, to violet-blues, my upcoming ebook celebrates my favorite gem.

The book uses my poplar patchwork heart and gives you over 60 stitches you can mix and match to make your own unique project. All the stitches in the book are new and can be done using a single color of thread. The pictured hearts add in a few stitches from the first heart sampler ebook for spice.

You also got a sneak peek at the orange sapphire in my review of black metallic canvas.

Five hearts are included, along with tables showing you the stitches used. In addition the book has detailed information about creating a monochromatic color scheme, more and an expanded description of threads. As a bonus, there are directions for using a stencil to color your canvas.

I’m busily stitching on the final two hearts right now and the book should be available about February 15.

beginning needlepoint stitch sampler from free email needlepoint course

One of the nicest things you can do for someone is to share something you love, by teaching them. We love needlepoint, but all too often beginners are intimidated or the cost of classes (in time or money is too high). But still we want to share the joy we take from needlepoint and get them started easily.

That’s why I created the popular course, Right from the Beginning. It’s free, comes weekly in your email, and includes a stitch sampler (pictured above) and a small Bargello project to get your started. Hundreds of stitchers have taken this class already.

You can sign up for the class easily and the lessons start right away.

But what if you want this to be part of a Christmas present, maybe including a beginning canvas and some threads? Then you can take advantage of my special offer. Email me at napaneedlepoint (at) gmail (dot) com and give me the email and the starting date. I’ll add them for you and send them a welcome email.

attic windows beginning needlepoint projects designed by janet perry

One of the harder things I’ve done in needlepoint is advance from doing Tent Stitch to feeling confident in making different stitches, using different threads, and trying new color combinations.

That’s why I’ve designed this new series of projects for those people beginning needlepoint. But they are so fun to stitch, experienced stitchers will want to try them too!

The projects are designed with beginners in mind, there is lots of explanation on every aspect of the project from drawing the outline on canvas to
tips to help you with you stitching.

Each of the three projects showcases different aspects of needlepoint and they are arranged by increasing levels of difficulty.

The projects, in ebook form, will be available beginning this weekend in the All about Needlepoint ebook shop, as well as part of the Needle Show Retail from Novenber 5 to 8.
