By the way, this didn't publish on a Friday. Blog burped, changed the date of this article and published it immediately instead of saving it for later.  Sorry!

Sandy Arthur's Classes for TNNA Winter 2014

We regular stitchers aren't the only ones who take classes. Your shop owner does, too. They want to learn interesting techniques and play with the newest threads just as much as you do and they are always trying to keep up with things to help their customers, so TNNA offers classes at the trade shows. Here are all the fun things that Sandy Arthur is going to teach this winter in San Diego.

There is a huge variety of designs to choose from and you know the best part?  Sandy is probably willing to teach these at a shop near you.

Improvising Threads

I am sure we've all not had the right thread color and no shop access problem at one time or another.  Spilt the Needles just won my Smart Cookie Award for her clever way of handling that problem!
