Mother's Day

We can keep a list of items you want for Mother's Day. In addition to gift certificates, our suggestions would include books, laying tools and organizational tools such as tool kits by Yazzi and the Handy Caddy.

We have Gail Sirna's new book -

In Praise of the Needlewoman

. Gail's book focuses on paintings that focus on women stitching. It's beautiful.

We have Linda Corriosi's embellishment books

Canvas Embellishment

and

Canvas Embellishment-The Sequel.

Do you have

Amy's Cookbook for Stitchers

or

Celebrity Chefs

These books are among my favorites. Each book has a binder. Then chapters can be added over time. The chapters are arranged by a type of stitch or technique. There are great charts and suggestions of how to use.Your kids can even buy you a chapter at a time.

Amy Bunger also has a new DVD which shows how to do certain techniques.

How'd You Do That? Tips Hints + Knots

You could also get a gift certificate for a class. We are planning our classes for the summer. We plan to do City Snow (known at the store as the Coat Ladies) and a class on the stadiums.
