November 2009 Chilly Hollow Newsletter Article

With the holidays approaching like a freight train, this month's newsletter is going to be mostly full of eye candy to enjoy whenever you can take a break from everything you have to do over the next two months.

First up, Stitchers' Treasures posted some photos of pieces customers are working on. Don't miss the tip on how to stitch a lace pattern on a Christmas stocking at the end!

Needlepoint.com in Raleigh has posted photographs of a customer's Kelly Clark Nativity set, stitched using Amy Bunger's kit and instructions.  The pieces are beautifully stitched and finished and a delight to look at.
