A Free Harry Potter Stitch Guide

You don't see many Harry Potter canvases since most would be copyright violations and J.K. Rowling's lawyers keep that in check.  However, the new designer Hook and Harbor has some cute ornaments that reference these much-loved books without being copyright violations.

To top off the fun, Jinny Barney has done a free stitch guide for the Wizard Glasses Ornament.  Her treatment of the glass in the glasses is unique, too.

Thanks, Jinny!  Ok, who is going to re-read one of the Potter books this summer?

Ruth Does the Twist (with Lazy Daisy Stitch)

Today's fun is a video by Ruth Schmuff of Bedecked and Beadazzled teaching how to create a feather with a Twisted Lazy Daisy Stitch.  It's fun!  Made me dizzy twisting, though!  LOL
