To the Point
At this time of the year I usually feel frazzled trying to finish up projects and fix mistakes. Remember to check finished pieces before you give them as gifts. They should be clean and neat. Remove any lint or stains and trim thread tails. Here's a list of last minute ideas to transform your stitched piece into a useful gift.Words of Wisdom
