This month's featured artist is the talented Geetha from India. She used crewel embroidery to make an embroidered sari for a friend.

To the Point

On your next trip to the embroidery store, take a look at DMC's new Memory Thread which can be used for 3D embroidery effects. It's basically a fiber wrapped wire you can attach to the top of regular patterns. Take a look at the list of basic cross stitch supplies to make sure you have everything you need for your next project.

Words of Wisdom

"The greatest masterpieces were once only pigments on a palette." (or threads in a basket!) ~ Henry S. Hoskins

Find of the Month

Here's a versatile transfer pattern that you can use for crewel, redwork, or bluework embroidery. It says "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine" – how true! Remember you can make homemade transfer paper by using a graphite pencil to go over the lines then press the paper from the back side.

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.
