Boo Beads and More

Ruth Schmuff has finished her mystery piece for Halloween.  He's funny, from the beads on Boo to those tiny little feet to the metallic background and those white emote lines. Bet they glow in the dark! His hands wave and his teeth glow. He's really a scream. LOL

Do You Need Something Stitched?

With Ghost Stitchers apparently no more, I thought I'd collect a list of shops that offer stitching services.   I've been told the following shops offer stitching services.  I don't know the cost, the quality of the work, or anything else about their services.  For details, email or call the shop closest to you.  In no particular order, here they are:

Beth's Needlepoint Nook - they will stitch anything for anyone and have done rugs and stockings with guides
