Homestead Needle Arts is Infested

The latest newsletter from Homestead Needle Arts is all about a problem the shop it having--it's overrun with witches!   They brought their friends.  They brought their furniture.  They are flying around Theresa's head on broomsticks, taunting her.  Help!

The shop also has copies of a new book by Jacqui Carey that is about stitches used by Elizabethean stitchers.  There are diagrams about how to stitch them yourself, too.  Which might come in handy if you need a diagram for tubular Ceylon stitch....

There's more in the newsletter but since the witches are flying around MY head now, I'll let you discover that for yourself.  Theresa, try distracting them with candy corn.

Happy Halloween!

Come to the Point

If you love informative shop newsletters, you might want to sign up for Come to the Point's e-newsletter which arrives roughly weekly.   It is always interesting, though short.  (I always admire folks who can say something in a few sentences, especially since it always takes me a few paragraphs!)  Here's a bit about the shop, which is in San Rafael, California.
