New needlepoint e-book – Craft Gossip

Please excuse my absence the past couple of days. My back is acting up and won’t let me sit at the computer for long. But I just had to pop in to tell you this:

Janet Perry has just released a new e-book, Heart Sampler. Janet says,

Looking for a way to learn some new stitches and to use up threads from your stash?…The design is based on a classic quilt block. Working from an overdyed thread (I used silks), pick additional threads in those colors. Then mix and match the stitches for your own unique design…Each stitch is diagrammed and the ones that work best for the triangular blocks are noted.

What a great idea! The PDF book is only US $3.00. Go to Janet’s post to get the details.
