Bargello Information

This is an "information" post!  I have added a new page to my website:  "Bargello Information".  There is all kinds of stuff that is helpful to know for stitching Bargello needlepoint, some basics about threads, canvas, marking techniques, color, and a few miscellaneous odds & ends.
Take a look!  Maybe you'll find something useful.

The picture is of some greeting cards I made many years ago.  Just basic Bargello patterns.

New Patterns

Finally!  Two new patterns are available on my Website:  www.lizartneedlepoint.com

Many of you followed the stitching of "In The Garden" and "Vanilla Orchid" and I finally got the instructions ready to sell.

Vanilla Orchid

Please check it out!  They are listed under Bargello patterns & you have to scroll down all the way to the bottom.

In The Garden



A New Freebie

Surprise! I have finally figured out, successfully, how to add another Free Design to my website. It is a Small Bargello Alphabet that is suitable for signing your Bargello stitcheries. Please go to my website & click on the design for a free .pdf download: http://www.lizartneedlepoint.com/
It is underneath the mouse design.

New Designs on Website

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have finally added two new designs for sale on my website, www.lizartneedlepoint.com.

12 Days of Christmas is a 4-way Bargello which uses an unusual pattern.
4-way Butterflies combines needlepoint and Bargello.
Please take a look. Both are listed at the bottom of the Bargello page.

New Patterns

Finally! I have added 3 new patterns to my website. These designs are now available for sale: Touch of Cat, A Unicorn Was Here, and Petite Bargello. The Cat and the Unicorn work for both needlepoint and cross stitch. Petite Bargello gives two colorways. Please take a look!

ANNOUNCING NEW WEBSITE!!

I'm so excited! My website is up and running! I hope you will check it out:
WWW.LIZARTNEEDLEPOINT.COM
There are currently 3 new designs (one Bargello & 2 needlepoints) plus a FREE design that you can download and print from the website. Pictures of the new designs have been added to the slide show "Preview Patterns" on the right side bar of this Blog. Please check out my website and let me know what you think!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I wish all of you a happy, prosperous and stitch-filled 2010!

Can you believe we are already a full decade into the 21st Century? And can you believe the amazing technological progress the needlework community has made? Ten years ago I'd never heard of a Blog, did they exist then? Or Face Book or Twitter? Or books on my phone for easy reference? It just goes on and on. I love it all!

In case you have been wondering, I will not be offering any new patterns on my Blog. I am working on getting my website up & running by early February. At that time, I will offer several new patterns, both needlepoint and Bargello. This will be very exciting for me and I hope for all my faithful followers! So stay tuned, keep checking here for further news.

In the meantime, I will try to keep you up-to-date on my stitching progress. As you know, I have multiple projects going at once!

Happy New Year!

10,000 Hits

Wow, my Hit Counter just turned 10,000 yesterday! It is hard to believe. Thank you all so much for following my Blog posts!

We are in Reno now and although there was heavy snow a week or so ago, it is nice now. Pretty view out the window with all the snow, but the roads and driveway are clear now! Just right for enjoying the scenery.

I recently got an iPhone and it is so cool. But this morning I got the new app, Suzy's Portable Stitches. Now that is waaaaaaaay cool! So now I will have stitch reference wherever I go! If you want it, search on needlework in the app store.

I'll be working on things for my website, plus I have 2 new projects to start. Maybe I'll get far enough along to have pictures for you in a few days.

Travelling without Sweet Pea

The Holidays are beginning. Tomorrow DH and I are heading to Reno for 2 weeks, and then several days in Phoenix before we return to Las Vegas. We will be gone almost 3 weeks. Sweet Pea will be visiting friends during that time. My friend has 5 cats of her own, so Sweet Pea is in for a big adventure! I am going to miss her.








I'm packing up a bunch of projects to work on, including new patterns to get ready for sale. My new website has a tentative opening date of Feb 1 and I want to have several new patterns available by then. So this will be a "working" vacation for me. Of course "working" is kind of a misnomer since I love what I do!
