The big news for me is that Pam of the Edwardian Needle is feeling better, but if you visit the shop, please wear a mask as Pam needs to stay away from germs right now.

Take Care of Those Hands!

Tricia Nguyễn of Thistle Threads injured her hands again.   She's much better but she wants you to pay attention to your hands and use some of her tips to care for that essential item you need to stitch.

Thanks for the reminder, Tricia!

Winter Solstice (Eleanor Grosch and Ruth Schmuff)

Ruth Schmuff shows off her latest class piece, Eleanor Grosch's "Winter Solstice."

As always, you can get the canvas and Ruth's guide from her shop, Bedecked and Beadazzled.  Just follow the links.  But as a bonus, Ruth has posted directions for her clever version of padded satin stitch on her YouTube channel and also shows you how to use a pair of koma when you are laying pairs of metallics for couching like her passing thread.
