Are you running out of time to whip up a handmade gift for someone special on your list? Why not "gift" something NEW from Sue Spargo (Episode 810)...something that is sure to thrill any needleworker.
Sue's newest book,Creative Stitching, is a "must have" for those who love to enhance their work with beautiful stitches.
This charming little (7 1/2" x 6 1/4") spiral-bound book tucks easily into a work bag or basket, and opens flat for easy reference at stitching time.
The book begins with a detailed look into the needles and threads that Sue uses, and the pages that follow include luscious, never-before-seen photos of her work.

Ricky has been on many journeys this past year. During his visit to Sweden he found himself with a "sweet ride." What sort of accessories do you think this car has? Built in "lead foot, perhaps?"

It measures 75" x 54" The background fabric was hand painted and Tsukineko Inks were used to in the houses on the hill and the windows and doors on the bias-sided town buildins. Nancy's grandchildren are the merchants in the town. Life in Holly Ridge took Nancy 1500 hours to complete. Click here to visit Nancy's website.
