Amy Bunger's January newsletter is up on her shop website. Just click on the right date to enjoy all the goodies. This is a very large newsletter, full of interesting things but my favorite is the photo of the first Kirk and Hamilton poison bottle Amy's stitched. This is a series that is a particular favorite of mine (Ok, I admit I an strange!) but if you don't find Halloween canvases to your taste, there is still a great deal to enjoy in this newsletter. Amy always includes a book review, class announcements, a bit about the new Tony Minieri DVD set, glimpses of her Home Study pieces being stitched and much more. There are even new Holiday Parade canvases from Susan Roberts that Amy will be doing stitch guides for.

The Needle Works newsletter is up, too. Once again there are plenty of classes to admire, a new monthly club announced (featuring circus elephants!), a stitch will be diagrammed/deconstructed/enhanced, and some fabulous finished projects shown off.

I hope you have a quiet moment soon to sit and enjoy the good reads.

BeStitched Goes Nobuko

The latest video from BeStitched in Arizona shows how to do nobuko stitch. They graph the stitch, show stitched examples and then stitch in front of the camera. The one thing that is lacking is a diagram of how the next row interlocks with the previous but this is a stitch diagrammed a lot of places. Use BeStitched's tip to stitch the diagram with an old needle using a copy of a diagram from one of your books and that should help a lot.
