Small Book Reviews

The latest e-newsletter from Michelle at Come to the Point has several mini reviews of a new book from Carolyn Hedge Baird (Teeny Tiny Needlepoint Stitches) and Michele Roberts's older book (Broad Stripes and Bright Stars).  Most stitches have heard of Carolyn but may not be aware just how talented Michele is.  Michele Roberts is a bit under the radar as she is primarily a teacher but her books often are paired with companion projects, which is particularly nice for those who want to do a sampler but don't want to do the designing themselves.  I think you'll enjoy hearing what Michelle has to say about their new books and their usefulness in finding small stitches for small spaces.
