Breaking News: The Embeliishment Squad Has a Book UPDATED




Meredith Willett, Tony Minieri and Suzanne Willett, aka The Embellishment Squad, have teamed up to produce a book of their original stitches.  The title is Master Stitches From the Squad Volume 1 and copies are expected in mid- to late July 2022.

These are all most likely original stitches that the Embellishment Squad have created during their years of teaching embellishment classes.  

UPDATE:  Park Avenue Needlepoint posted a good photo of two pages so you can see what the charts are like.

UPDATE #2:  Vicky has a preview of the new book.

UPDATE #3:  Needle House shows off two more pages from the inside.  I've heard there are 150 or so stitches diagrammed in it.

UPDATE #4:  Another glimpse inside from Needlepoint Breeze.

UPDATE #5:  As of February 2023, they are taking pre-orders for Volume Two.

Stitches for Fur

Melita has listed stitches she thinks good for fur on her blog.

I like long and short myself, done in cotton floss (one ply only) in layers.  You can always go back and add more thread that way to correct something you don't like.
