Yes, Christmas has arrived two days early here in Chilly Hollow--Tony Minieri's website finally has some of his stitch guides available! These are electronic guides (unless you live in countries where Tony has to collect VAT) available instantly after payment. All the details are here.

I expect more guides will be added as Tony has time to make them available. No, I haven't bought any yet. I'm still trying to decide....
If you have and you want to let the rest of us know what the guides are like (some of them are likely quite old), please comment below or email me at chillyhollow at hotmail dot com. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Tony's site would be better if it showed what the finished pieces look like so you can decide if you want your piece to look like that. Buying stitch guides in the blind is sometimes disappointing especially since all sales are final.
Thanks, Jane! The store has about 100 or so stitch and thread guides listed. More will be added daily.....And I know Kazoo would love to hear from people about their experiences and comments....kazoo@tonyminieri.com
We'll let you know if we run into glitches so the webmaster can fix. Thanks, Joey!
It would be nice, Fox, but I doubt Tony has actually stitched any of these. The best he can hope for is someone sends him a photo of the finished piece so he can add that. You have to trust his experience to know you'll have something interesting later. That's one drawback of doing guides when you haven't stitched the models. Folks have to know your style ahead of time or risk disappointment. But I'm sure Joey will add photos if she gets them from customers of Tony's.
All stitched pieces that are sent to us are posted in Tony's Facebook page under Tony's Stars. You can see some stunning work there!
Thanks, Joey!
