Craftsy Does Stumpwork

By now you've probably heard of Craftsy, the online video classroom that teaches various crafts. Mary Corbet has been reviewing their stumpwork class.  She's also reviewed their gold work class and there's a link to that if you want to know more, plus a link to a discount on the stumpwork class if you are interested.  But act fast--the discount is only good through November 17.

The Judges Speak

Melita's original design called "Gentle Waves" went to Myrtle Beach and the ANG Seminar Exhibit this year. She got lots of great feedback from the judges which I think you'll find interesting.

Kudos to Melita for coming up with an original design and sharing it, then talking frankly about her successes and failures. That's how you become a better stitcher, folks!

By the way, Cathryn won two ribbons for her wool flowers purse.  Ridgewood posted photos on their blog and I knew you'd like to see it.
