A Copyright Reminder

Needle Nicely posted a reminder about copyright on her blog. For those of you who don't have a blog, there are all sorts of stats kept by the software that powers these things.  Mary Agnes can use it to track bad behavior if she chooses.

Quail Run Newsletter Fun

Quail Run's fun newsletter is online for December.  It talks about their year end sale, shows off fabulous finishing, and of course talks classes.  This time there is a great tip about how to keep your threads from twisting as you stitch and some new designs that celebrate Arizona's one hundred years as a state.  As a special bonus, Susan discusses trapunto, the special technique I used to give my Day of the Dead lady's necklace a special "lift."  There are a lot of photos of this special technique which is amazingly easy so you can easily try it at home.
