Suddenly Subscription to Blog Ends

I've heard from two different folks this week that suddenly their subscription to Blog has ended.  They want me to fix it.  Sorry to say, I cannot.  The behind-the-scenes workings of Blogger are off limits to those of us who use it.  When bugs appear, it's up to Google to fix them.

There are three things you can do.  First, try to resubscribe.  The drop down menu to Subscribe is 5/6 of the way down the home page of Blog, just below the big blue Blog with Integrity box.

Secondly, you can use an RSS feed reader.  I use Feedly but there are others.  These can be a little tricky to set up and you will need to have the URLs for all the websites you want to follow ready to copy/paste into the feed reader.  Note that blogs that are part of a website instead of being stand alone often don't work with feed readers.  

The easiest way around this if the subscription stops working and you can't get it to go again is to simply bookmark Blog's URL and visit daily.  Remember, once you visit Blog, you can click on the magic carpet photo in the right side column to automatically visit the CH Stitch Guides blog.  You can return to Blog the same way.  

Sorry about this, folks, but it's not something I can do a thing about.

Stitches for Effects Series Going Up in Price

Homestead Needle Arts just announced that the Stitches for Effects books are going to cost more starting in October 2022.

This makes sense as costs for paper and labor are going through the roof.  The moral is, if you like to stitch embellished canvases, you should buy one or more of the three books at today's prices.  They are invaluable guides to what stitch to use to create snow, mountains, skirts, fur, leaves, etc.
