Just a quick note to remind you that this evening is your last chance to participate in July’s needlework stash give-away here on Needle ‘n Thread. All you have to do is leave a comment on the original post, explaining what your favorite embroidery stitch is and why… and you can even feel free to leave in any tips about working the stitch, that you’ve picked up along the way!
I’ll draw the name first thing in the morning, so leave your comment tonight!
