Eh heh hem… Excuse me, frog in my throat.

Book Review – Sublime Stitching – Embroidered Effects by Jenny Hart

And speaking of scary, if you’re in the Los Angeles area, I’m teaching a really haunting class next Saturday… Okay, it’s not haunting, it’s embroidery basics, but if you’re around and you come and mention Mr. X Stitch I’ll try to be extra scary!!! Promise! Info can be found HERE.

Otherwise have a fun and safe Halloween! Don’t take any apples, candy corn, or unwrapped items. Beyond that, have at it!!!
WooooOOOooo!!
