&Stitches

stitches
Have you checked out the &Stitches ezine yet? Issue 2 is out now and I can highly recommend it! It's full of some great stuff that you are sure to find fun, inspiring and useful. (plus a little interview with yours truly. ;)

"&Stitches is a quarterly e-zine about embroidery and other hand sewing with a modern twist.

This issue is all about books! We have several book related patterns for you and fun stitches to learn. Our guest designer is Cate Anevski. We also have a fun book inspired project from Jessica Kelly who shows how to stitch on vintage paper and Becka Rahn has a project suitable for young stitchers. We talk to some fellow stitchers about the books which inspire them and Aimee Ray tells us about her experience with craft book writing.

&Stitches is written by Carina Envoldsen-Harris (Polka & Bloom) and Nicole Vos van Avezathe (Follow the White Bunny), both avid stitchers and embroidery pattern designers."

    Thanks for offering a giveaway. I enjoy your books & your blog. Your books got me started on freehand embroidery (maybe I should say doodle stitching).

    Thanks for the giveaway! I'm just learning to embroider and one of the first books I bought was Doodle Stitching. I want to make a woodlands scene for my niece to hang on the wall but so far I've made a few flour sack towels. Love your patterns!
