Great Needlepoint Stash Buster


Our goal at the shop in 2009 was to finish the needlepoint perpetual calendar started in December of 2008.
Except for black and white Designers Dream, and a few background colors, all the fibers used on the completed project were from our stash of mixed fibers. Since the pieces are small it was easy to find a few strands to match the painted colors.
This project was so much fun (and we still have LOTS of stash fiber left) that we are now working on an Advent calendar for December of this year.
