Inspiration Strikes and the Newsletter Hits UPDATED

I must be feeling aggressive today--all the titles that occurred to me mentioned blows.  Maybe you guys should back away from the computer screen a little?  LOL

Needle Works in Austin has released their August newsletter full of their Leigh trunk show (20% off) and classes and new products.  The stitch for this month is Double Stitch, last seen being used on some of the bushes in my cat topiary garden piece.  Needle Works not only diagrams the stitch, they diagram three variations of it that can be used for many interesting things.

UPDATE:  Amy Bunger's newsletter is available, too.  It's always fun and this month is no exception.

Laura Perin proves inspiration comes to a designer from many places by using the pattern on her shorts for a new Hawaiian-themed piece.  I think it is lovely.  Since I love the Big Island of Hawaii, I am waiting eagerly to see how this piece is finished.
