Threadaholic Alert: New Book!

Whoo HOO! Ruth Schmuff just announced a brand new book, a thread guide. The book is called Threads:  A Needle Necessity and is written by two threadaholics--Jane Evans and Liv Weiss.   Bedecked and Beadazzled will publish it and copies are available for pre-order right now.  They should ship in mid-March.

This is not the huge reference guide that the out-of-print Thread Thesaurus is.  It concentrates on the threads we use most today.  I expect it will be of greatest use to those who have to mail order their threads, but we'll have to wait until threadaholics get their mitts on copies to know for sure.

I think I want one with a pink cover.  Does Ruth know what we like or what?!!

Finishing Friday: Santas and Cats

Ridgewood's customers have been on a Santa stitching spree!  I particularly like the beard and other details on the golden double-sided Santa, but they are all very nice indeed.

Check out this custom cat design form NeedlePaint!  (The coat of arms is very classy but that cat is amazing!)
