I’m slipping! I forgot to post about backgrounds from the article, Timeless Treasures from the Archives in the January/February 2026 issue of Needle Pointers Magazine.
I tested several backgrounds from an article by Ruth Ann Halpern (using a variety of threads and beads) and Susan Portra’s Moonbeam in blue (shown below).
If you’re not a member of ANG, the American Needlepoint Guild (needlepoint.org), it’s easy to join. There are many free designs exclusively available to members.
