Quail Run's fun newsletter is online for December. It talks about their year end sale, shows off fabulous finishing, and of course talks classes. This time there is a great tip about how to keep your threads from twisting as you stitch and some new designs that celebrate Arizona's one hundred years as a state. As a special bonus, Susan discusses trapunto, the special technique I used to give my Day of the Dead lady's necklace a special "lift." There are a lot of photos of this special technique which is amazingly easy so you can easily try it at home.
