Blog Hop – the hand-stitched surface

I am excited to be a part of a Blog Hop which will start on July 9 – July 14.  Five wonderful stitch artists and myself will be sharing some hand stitching tips, showing some of our own hand stitching work, and talking about a wonderful hand stitch book title, “The Hand Stitched Surface” by Lynn Krawczyk (book can be found on Amazon) which is full of fun creative stitching ideas.    I hope you will join each one of us for a week of creative instruction, learning, and a chance to win a copy of this book.
