Ta-da!! May I introduce you to my new book 'Little Stitches. It is being published by Stash Books and will be out in August of this year. The book includes all the basics on embroidery plus tips and techniques, 12 projects and over 100 patterns.
More details will be revealed over the next few months but for now I'm just happy to be able to say all that out loud.
