|  | Ruth Dilts created magic with beading, couching and the twisted stem stitch, among other techniques. I have taught a class from the book. It features 12 different techniques, each wonderfully illustrated. The bonus is that it also features 12 stitch guides with complete directions and very clear color photographs. The book and one of the featured canvases (say, like this Santa) would make a super present. $20.00 |

|  | I think Amy’s “Cookbook for Stitchers” in 3 volumes is a must have for a stitchers library.

Volume 1 has 9 chapters, beginning with knots and turkey work and ending with chain stitches. Volume 2 has 8 chapters, with special chapters for hair, Christmas and Halloween among others. Volume 3 has 8 chapters, including several chapters reprising her most requested stitches from stitch guides, blackwork, bargello, laid fillings and borders.
The cost for the set of 3 volumes is $250—having these reference books in your library—priceless. $250.00 |
