Stitchers, thread your needles! The Needle and Thread: Stitching for Literacy 2010 Bookmark Challenge is officially on. To celebrate, we have a video and theme song. Yes, that’s right, a theme song, so turn your computer volume on and invite the kids in to watch and listen.

Please feel free to share this video on your blog, Facebook page, anywhere to spread word of the Challenge. Visit YouTube to grab the code to embed it on your page.

The music for the theme song was written and performed by Ryan Stones. He says, “I had a lot of fun recording all the tracks. I used an internal laptop microphone and open source sound engineering software to create a sound recording for my aunt!”

Yep, that’s my nephew. And for the record: yes, he knows how to stitch.
