I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

Give-Away Winner & Updates!

 

Amazon Books

Last week, I reviewed this book by Cassandra Dias – Richly Stitched Landscape Embroidery – and hosted a give-away for a digital copy of the book.

This morning, I randomly drew the winner of the give-away, so I will announce that lucky person below, and then I’ll share a General Update on Things.

Oooooh, including new stock arriving soon, speaking of beautiful books…

Landscape Embroidery by Cassandra Dias

First thing this morning in the wee hours, I tied up the give-away for Richly Stitched Landscape Embroidery and, using a random number generator, drew the winner:

Deborah Jesseman!

Yay! Deborah, you’ll receive that digital copy via email. I will reach out to you shortly with details!

Bouquet Letters by Elisabetta Sforza

Yes, of course I’m carrying Elisabetta’s beautiful new book, Bouquet Letters.

And yes, of course, it was held up in customs briefly. It should arrive this week. I expect it as soon as today, I hope!

Bouquet Letters by Elisabetta Sforza

This is another gorgeous monogram alphabet book by Elisabetta. The book is presented in both Italian and English, and I will review it in detail once it’s here.

I carry all of Elisabetta’s popular books in my shop, and I’m so happy to add Bouquet Letters, so you’ll see all of them in stock soon!

Stitch Snippet Kits Restocked!

We’ve restocked some of our most popular stitch-along kits – Cotton Quartet and Bee-Jeweled Pin Cushion – and they’re in the shop as we speak!

Cotton Quartet

These kits belong to the Stitch Snippet Stitch-Along series that we have hosted over the past many years here on Needle ‘n Thread. You can find the stitch-along for Cotton Quartet here. You’ll see all the instructions detailed there, in chronological order as the stitch-along unfolded.

Bee-Jeweled Pin Cushion

And you can find the stitch-along for Bee-Jeweled Pin Cushion here.

You’ll find a limited number of both of these kits available in the shop here.

The Thumb!

I haven’t “unpacked” my thumb yet – can’t do that till Friday – but the surgery seems to have done the trick! Thanks for all your good wishes!

I’m doing the hunt-and-peck four-finger typing thing. It’s highly inefficient. LOL!

Oh my word, I can’t wait to get back to efficient and comfortable stitching!
