Profiling Pat Mazu

This morning I wanted to share a profile of the counted canvaswork designer Pat Mazu I stumbled across when updating the Counted Canvaswork Designer tab.

You may have seen Pat's wonderful free designs in Needlepoint Now or Needle Pointers.

There is also a free project from Pat on the ANG website.

Pat's charts and her book on basic finishing are available from Stitches From The Heart.  I haven't seen the finishing book myself but it gets very good reviews.

I hope you enjoyed reading about this very talented lady and working some of her terrific stockings.

It doesn't get any better than this when it comes to a custom piece.  Cross your fingers Lee adds to the website soon.
