Ruth Talks Carole and Michael UPDATED

Ruth Kern talks books at "Needle News and Book Reviews," but she also introduces Carole Lake and Michael Boren and their brand new book.    !!!!!

Carole is the funniest stitcher I know and Michael is the nicest (plus he is a threadaholic so you know he's ok).  To hear they collaborated on a book is music to my ears!  It is called "Painted Canvas Embellishment:  An Idea Book."

You can get it from Ruth.  Oh, she reviews a lot of other books in the latest posting, but Carole's and Michael's is the only one for me!!

Here is their joint website.  Watch this area for more book news.

UPDATE:  The StitchPlay website now has information on how to order directly from the authors.  I understand that Rainbow Gallery is already sold out and has ordered more copies.  I have been told Ruth Kern expects her shipment of Painted Canvas Embellishment on Friday (Jan. 10) and will ship out to those who have purchased a copy immediately.

Carol's Ornament Exchange Party

Carol's stitching guild in Australia does a Christmas ornament exchange with a guild in England each year. We are lucky that this year Carol took a lot of photos this year. What fun!
