I plan to keep up the tradition and do the holiday bonus again this year. So if you are reading this and would like some free embroidery patterns, go to my online store, order the Holiday Delights pattern, and... **SORRY -- Too late.

To the Point
The holidays are a great time to take advantage of display rotation. Change your needlework that's normally on display to something more reflective of the season. You can even change it a couple of times between Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, winter, and whatever other holidays you celebrate. It will show off more items you've made and also help to preserve your work so it doesn't wear out as fast.Follow these display tips, and your needlework could outlive you by hundreds of years!
Words of Wisdom
There is no substitute for good manners, except, perhaps, fast reflexes.Find of the Month
I found a funny little pilgrim turkey cross stitch pattern to share for Thanksgiving. It's a .pdf file from Janlynn and designed by Sandra Cozzolino. The pilgrim turkey is suggesting that we eat fish!You're Invited: Please share your stitching stories, ideas, words of wisdom, find of the month, or questions. Just reply to this newsletter and tell me what you think! I'd love to hear from you.
The most interesting feedback will be shared in next month's issue!
Happy Stitching,
Amy Conaway
