Shapes of Needlepoint: A Video Review

BeStitched has posted a video review of Sandy Arthur's three Shapes of Needlepoint books. If you have Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket, these books are a great addition to your stitching library as there is nothing else quite like them available.

By the way, there are four "shapes" books available. I am not sure how old this video is as it is undated so the latest book (diagonal, vertical and horizontal stitches--very useful!) isn't shown.

BeStitched shows off their "kit keepers" for safe needlepoint travel.

There are a lot of types of project bags for travel and storage available.  Choose carefully.  Some items are not suitable for long-term storage and some aren't really travel friendly.
