Small Book Reviews

The latest e-newsletter from Michelle at Come to the Point has several mini reviews of a new book from Carolyn Hedge Baird (Teeny Tiny Needlepoint Stitches) and Michele Roberts's older book (Broad Stripes and Bright Stars).  Most stitches have heard of Carolyn but may not be aware just how talented Michele is.  Michele Roberts is a bit under the radar as she is primarily a teacher but her books often are paired with companion projects, which is particularly nice for those who want to do a sampler but don't want to do the designing themselves.  I think you'll enjoy hearing what Michelle has to say about their new books and their usefulness in finding small stitches for small spaces.

Small Space Stitches

Mary at the Whimsical Stitch blog has started a feature she calls Small Space Sundays. She plans to list stitches that work very well for small spaces on her blog on occasional Sundays. Here is the first--a shortened version of encroaching gobelin stitch.

The nice thing about the article is Mary talks about various uses for the stitch and what threads she thinks work particularly well for it.  I'll update this article as Mary talks about other stitches that work well in tiny spaces.
