The Desperate Ornament Finisher's Friend

It's less than a week until Christmas and you just finished that ornament you really really really want on your tree. What to do!?  This little no sew finishing book might be the answer to your prayers.

It is also available as a PDF instant download.  The author teaches a three hour finishing class for needlepointers.  Her technique is based on these classes and uses the ornaments done in class for the illustrations in the book and PDF file.
