BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
My indie book of handmade embroidery projects is done!
Yes, it's true! Woot! My winsome home team of trusty assistants and I are meticulously going through the second proof right now as I write this, and hopefully it will be published and available in two shakes of a lamb's tail. That's the plan as I know it anyway.
For one reason or another, this little stitched piece was one of the projects that didn't quite find a place in the book, so yesterday I decided to turn it into a "sampler" and am offering it, somewhat fortuitously, as a Bonus Design on my website instead. That's what happens when July sneaks up on ya...you improvise, and follow along in the tradition of: "use what you have". Makes perfect sense. So get it while it's hot off the presses, a new design will replace it in August. I will now need to add some lettering and fill the heart with initials and a date, but probably not any time soon because I really need to tie up all my loose ends (and threads) first. I promise, a sneak peek at my new book very soon!
Congrats on finishing the book. You must be so proud. I love all your work (thought I should add that)

Hi, Vicki,
I want to congratulate you on completing you book, and I look forward to seeing it! I find such inspiration in all that you do. In fact, I currently teach an embroidery class at the local senior center, and your projects have generated many ideas! Your blanket book is a great resource as well. Many Thanks! Debra
