Just a Reminder

Just a reminder--all the TNNA trade show postings from the Columbus show that is going on right now are listed, latest on top, under the "TNNA Columbus June 2013" tab.  Click on the tab to go to that page, then click on Home to return to Blog's main page.

If I missed anything, please let me know.  I'm off line until this evening so I'll update again after supper.

New Ruth App

Hurrah! Ruth Schmuff's newest book is now available as an app from the iTunes store!  Volumes one and two are $9.99 each and volume three is $10.99.  I have the first two volumes on CD and use them a lot.

You can buy the books in several forms from Ruth herself if your local shop doesn't have them in stock.

Miniature Embroidery on Fabric

Trish Burr has become enamored of miniature embroidery.  It's lucky for us as she's researched miniature needlework and posted examples, links to association websites and talked about what actually is miniature embroidery.

This is embroidery on fabric, not on silk gauze.  In other words, it is embroidery instead of counted thread on silk gauze.  I hope you enjoy looking at some examples.
