Finally, Barbara Bergsten has come up with new rolly polly Santas that she calls Santa Stitches.  She needs help coming up with the right threads for 13 count, however.  Can you give her some recommendations?

Bet Your Bag is Better than Valentino's

The Domestique just found this needlepoint purse from Valentino in the pages of the most recent Elle.  I am pretty sure we can do better than that and for less than $4400.00 USD!

The Stitching Sorority (and Fraternity)

Katherine and Palma met up in New Orleans for food, stitching talk and fun.  I love Katherine's description of "a stitch sorority."  When you think about it, we are a stitching family connected via the Internet!
