Meeting the Pointer Sisters

This week's podcast from Melissa of the Pointing It Out podcast team is an interview with Timmy Schultz and Jan Dedrick, otherwise known as the Pointer Sisters.  You'll get to know both of them and learn a bit about their books, including their third book which is in progress (out this fall?).

You probably remember their book, Pretty Stitches.  Their latest book is called We've Got Your Back Ground Stitches.  If your favorite shop doesn't carry the books, you can always order from Timmy's website.

UPDATE:  Homestead Needle Arts has a brief review of this book.  "...145 pages but at least half are graph paper."  "7X4 inches with wire binding."  "There are over 65 stitches with ideas for how to handle each one, for example using different colored threads or what size of thread to use."

Pretty Stitches by the Pointer Sisters

I just stumbled across mention of a new spiral bound book called Pretty Stitches by the Pointer Sisters.

https://www.atpneedlepoint.com/shop/p/pretty-stitches-by-the-pointer-sisters-stitch-guide

The book is by Timmy Schultz and Jan Dederick.  It's 137 pages with around 60 stitches covered.  The book itself is small enough at 4x7 inches to carry in your stitching bag on vacation.  I found one review.

Looks like a second book is in the works, too.
