Stitching for Literacy Update
A bookmark by Marion Scoular. I have two of these, and I am sorely tempted to keep one. But now that I’ve said it out loud, I won’t. I promise to pass them both on to deserving young readers.
The Monday “What have you done lately?” accountability post, where I announce my Needle and Thread: Stitching [...]Readergirlz Outreach On!
The readergirlz outreach program is officially under way. The first video inviting girlz to request kits is up.
The second video–the tutorial–is finished as is the pdf pattern and instructions. As usual, I want to proof them another thirty-nine times before handing them over.
Making the tutorial showed me why there are studios and professional equipment. [...]Stitching for Literacy Update
A bookmark by Maureen, finished in the Bookmarks 101: Simple, Smart, and Swanky Finishes class at The Stitchers’ Village. This pattern was Maureen’s least favorite of the first batch she did, but I like it. Kids are into everything! I know there’s a bug-lover out there who will love to have this.

Maybe the story starts at the point where you [...]Stitching for Literacy Update
A bookmark from Marion Scoular, teacher and embroideress extraordinaire. An example of pattern darning. That’s the front and back of the same bookmark.

It’s a first; no one [...]
