September's Stitcher of the Month at Stitch By Stitch

Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont, NY has posted their September 2024 Stitcher of the Month interview--Sue McCandless!  Her mostly basketweave pieces show she is a master of what looks like a simple stitch but that is difficult to do perfectly.  All of those Christmas ornaments, Santas and Easter eggs are gorgeous!  Don't miss her stitched frame with an insert of stitching instead of a photo--genius.
