BREAKING NEWS: Suzie Buys Amanda Lawford

Since it is now official, I can tell you that Suzie Vallerie of Enriched Stitch has purchased the Amanda Lawford/DC Designs line of canvases.  These are the designs from Amanda and her son Derek Clark which we have grown to know and love.

It's lovely that Amanda Lawford pieces will still be available.  We hope you get to sleep occasionally, Suzie!  Thank you.

A Clever Tip for the Counted Crowd

If you have a charted piece in your near future, you might be able to use this tip from the Spinster Stitcher—she simply copies her chart and cuts out the relevant section and clips that to her canvas.  This makes it easier to work that section.

Many thanks to Miss Joyce for this clever idea and to Miss Coni for passing it along.
