Sewing Circle
I still can't believe how successful this newsletter and my Embroidery Methods website have become. Thank you! As a special way to thank my loyal readers, I will be sending out a holiday bonus email on Thanksgiving Day. This email will contain a link to special Christmas patterns. Some of them will also be of interest to those of you celebrating other holidays this season, but I celebrate Christmas, so that will be the majority. This special email and the pattern links will not be archived on my website like my regular newsletter, so make sure you hang on to the bonus email I will send on Thanksgiving and read it!

To the Point
I'm really looking forward to spending time with my family when we fix Thanksgiving dinner this year. I like to cook traditional dishes from scratch, so it's my favorite holiday! I good way to entertain family and friends while you're busy in the kitchen is to let them flip through your Completed Project Journal. A notebook is an easy way to share your accomplishments. I've learned it's a lot easier than running around pulling things you've made off of the beds and walls!

Words of Wisdom
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.

Find of the Month
What better way to decorate a Completed Project Journal than with a special cover that demonstrates your talent? I found instructions for how to make an embroidered album cover on the Sulky website. Even though it says computerized machine embroidery, you can embroider the cover using whichever method you choose. The pattern gives you instructions on how to sew it all together once the decorating is done.

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!
