Needlepoint Stitches: A Field Guide for Birds

Carolyn Hedge Baird's newest book is out now. Carolyn posted the cover page and a few inside pages on Facebook for people to see.  As you can see, it's a book of stitches useful for birds.

Now use the right side arrow to see the table of contents and several pages. Carolyn says that she used clip art birds and arrows in the text to help folks understand what direction the stitches should go for each part of the bird.  Clever!

I haven't seen a copy yet (it's just now available) but if you have and would like to do a mini review, please use the comments below or email me at chilly hollow at hot mail dot com.  Thanks!
