April 28, 2013 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

I love presents! I especially love stitchy presents! So I’m delighted to tell you about a gift for all of us from Helen Dickson of Bustle & Sew. Helen’s new e-book, Simple Stitchery, is available as a free download from her blog. She says,

Inside you’ll discover some help and advice on topics ranging from the right thread and fabric, hooping up, caring for your work and transferring your design.  You’ll also discover a stitch glossary with diagrams, pictures from Jacqui, and clear instructions to help you master some of the most commonly found embroidery stitches.
