Go Left? Go Right? Do Both?

The July 2014 shop newsletter from Bedecked and Beaddazzled is now online.   As usual it is full of upcoming classes but Ruth also includes a little essay on Nobuko stitch, which can be stitched slanting left or slanting right--or alternating direction.  Read how and when to use this stitch plus droll over the classes here.

By the way, sorry for the multiple postings of this entry. Today is the day Blogger hates me!

When you last saw her, she was hiding in a drawer, awaiting Finishing Magic.  Want to know how you know you have a great finisher?  The finisher makes your piece ten times better than it was before they worked on it.

You'll see how my Flying Angel turned out tomorrow.
