Helpful Finishing Hints

Today I ran across three helpful finishing hints online.   3 Kittens in Minnesota posted about using mini socks as silverwear holders for holiday parties in their latest shop newsletter.

Carolyn's student at Chaparrel decided to stack mother-of-pearl buttons in her corners so she wouldn't have to compensate them.  Genius!

Barbara posted photos of the backs of her pillows on Facebook.  She's doing a series of fun Annie Lane canvases and put their titles on the back side.  Use the right arrow to see the other pillow back.

BREAKING NEWS: IStitches Vol. Four is Now an App UPDATED

Ruth Schmuff's newest book--iStitches Volume Four--is now available as an app in the iTunes store. Details on the book and the previous three volumes (also available as Apple apps) are here.
http://www.notyourgrandmothersneedlepoint.com/2016/06/apps.html

Sorry, Android users. This only works on Apple iPhones and iPads.

UPDATE:  If you are getting the "not available" error messages when you try to download Vol. Four, wait a day and try again. I suspect too many people are trying to download this at once.
