Magnetic Notes

Sue Reed handed out Magnetic Notes in her class at the ANG Seminar in Myrtle Beach so that folks could cover up areas of their charts they weren't working on.  I thought my counted friends would like to know about such an interesting product.

Boo to You (SJ Designs) UPDATED

Susan Johnson of SJ Designs posted a free Halloween ornament for stitchers to create on her website.  It's called the "Boo to You" ornament and looks to be a fun and fast stash buster to stitch on Halloween.  It's meant to be totally beaded but there is no reason you can't pull colors of threads from your stash and follow the chart in tent stitches.

UPDATE:  Susan has reposted last year's "Very Very Merry" chart, just in case folks missed it.
