Smart Cookie of the Month Award

The Smart Cookie Award goes to a customer at Needleharts who staples a bit of felt to the top of her stretcher bars to use as a place to park her needles.  I know everyone doesn't like using magnets as needle minders;  this is a great way to keep your needles handy and safe if you don't like using magnets or don't happen to have a magnet handy.

By the way, the Nancy Drew book cover canvas is from Moore Stitching.

Instructions for Self-Finishing Compacts

Moore Stitching sells compact kits with a variety of canvas designs and the compact itself.  This is the initial design with leaves but there are many more available.

Here is how they are assembled.  When you buy the compact kit, you get self-finishing instructions included, but it's nice to have some idea before you buy.

By the way, I use Aleene's Tacky Glue which dries clear in an hour.  It's a useful item to have in your stitching tool box.
