Along with the new year came the release of the first bi-monthly issue of The Gift Of Stitching.  Among other things, I really enjoyed  the article “Kitchen Samplers by Pamela Lewis of Praiseworthy Stitches.

   Not too long ago I was researching design transfer methods and I was surprised to find that there was not many websites with information on exactly how to go about it.  I  found Elizabeth Almond’s article a very valuable resource and plan on keeping it close at hand.

While designing and stitching “Love Tokens” for this month’s issue – I thought about how easy it would be to take the motifs and use them separately for stitching quick Valentine’s Day  smalls.  I will take some pics and post some of the finishes I came up with in a couple of days.  Until then, I wish you all the best throughout the year!
