Front Cover
Barbara Richardson captures the fresh beauty of summer with her beautiful and subtle Sampler Rose. Wonderful dimension is achieved with a separate set of rose petals which were appliqued on top of the petals in the main canvas. A lightly textured pulled thread background looks like lace to complete the delecate aura of the design. The article begins on page 7.		 Back Cover
Romanoff Riches by June Moes captures the grandeur of a long ago time and place, Carl Faberge's Russia. Her simple, yet elegant egg will enhance any decor or serve as a very special gift for a very special friend. Enjoy working it on large 14-mesh canvas using beautiful and fun threads and beads. The project and instructions begin on page 12.

Summer Breeze

Blue Heart

Pat Miller is a new designer for us. Enjoy stitching both sides of her charming little heart. The threads used are "yummy" and will be exciting to try. Some of the stitches are fairly easy ones, and some may be new to you.
Log Cabin Gone Wild

Elizabeth Bezievich has fun updating a classic pattern - not for a quilt, but for needlepoint canvas. Types of threads are given but we suggest that you use your own color palette or materials from your "stash." Ours is worked on 13-count canvas but you may use your favorite mesh size.
Possibilities
24
Our newest feature writer, Judy Harper, is always experimenting and finding new ways. In this issue she talks about "Possibilities" with beads. Her beautiful Art Nouveau, above, shows beads worked sparingly as accents in the background and solid in the subject of the design.
Getting Your Stash Together

Diane Holman has a great idea on how to create order out of chaos. What a wonderful thought - all of my "stuff" together and neat and easy to find! Be sure to read the "Why, When, Where, Who and How" of her masterful plan.
