Either way, there is something spectacular about a rose - especially one with no thorns!

For our Summer Stitch Along we're making a Needlepoint Purse! This season's hottest bags are all about personality - weaving, beading, fringe. What could be more fashion-forward than a handstitched handbag? Fendi, who? This is a Benzie original.

We'll share an Instagram Live at 12:00 pm EDT every Thursday from June 25 - July 23 demonstrating the steps to stitch and construct your needlepoint purse. In addition to live videos, we'll update our blog weekly with photos and written steps so you can stitch at your own pace or join in at any point!
