Easter Stitching

Rev Deb from Just Enough Time has photos of two Easter-appropriate projects. The first is Mike Vickery's Emerald Cross (which I think I might have in a book...hmm). The other is an El Salvadoran embroidered stole that's just gorgeous.

Stitching Party

From the Augusta Chronicle's (GA, USA)"Around the Block" section comes this entry, titled "A Stitch in Time":

Napa Stitcher

The Napa Valley Register (CA, US) profiled Mary Ellen Walters, a local stitcher. From the photos, it looks 
like she's a BAP stitcher 
- I recognize designs from Mirabilia, Lavender & Lace, and I think a Passione 
Ricamo in the back. 
Although, someone needs to introduce her to daylight spectrum fluorescent lightbulbs; she says she uses 300watt bulbs now and they burn her 
lampshade!

Ecclesiastical Embroidery

EpiscopalLife Online has an article discussing ecclesiastical embroidery, both creation and preserving of embroidered items used by many churches (I know the Episopal, Anglican, and Catholic churches all use embroied vestments at times, for instance). It's an interesting piece, and they talked to many stitchers and sewers who've worked on such items.

There's an idea....

JY at Right Up Your Alley came up with an ingenious way to chart a simple cross stitch design: use a spreadsheet with the cells set to the same square size. Good idea, especially if you don't have any graph paper handy.

Stitching People
