Introducing Little Red Finch

We have a new designer--Little Red Finch! Right now the bulk of her designs are geared toward Minnesota stitchers, but that will change as the company gets off the ground.

You can also contract to have pieces stitched for you. Contact the company for details.

Help with Borders

Mary Legallet has written a series of great articles about border stitches on her blog.

Bookmark Mary's blog if you haven't already as each month she tackles stitches for a certain area or effect.  Very educational!

If you need more borders help than just stitch ideas, treat yourself to Michael Boren and Carole Lake's latest Desert Island Stitches book--Ideas for Creative Borders.  Here's a bit about it. I found it really helpful working my Leigh Designs Gold Digger Miami border.
