12 Days of Christmas: Gifts for Stitchy Friends

It's Day 6 of our 12 Days of Christmas series and today the spotlight is on your stitchy friends. Or friends who want to be stitchy. :-)

For a friend who's just getting started - I recommend the Super Stitch Kit. It has everything they'll need to start stitching right away - a blank tea towel, a hoop, a bundle of coordinated thread, pins, needles, nice sharp scissors, and a travel tin to keep the pointy things in. And the pattern of their choice! You can find it here - but there's only ONE left in the shop and I won't have them in stock again until January.

For beginning AND experienced stitchers, I recommend the Big Thread Bundle. It has a hand-picked selection of colors chosen because they look good together - dark, medium and light shades of every color in the rainbow, plus a nice array of neutrals. Today and this weekend only - I'll throw in a pack of Floss-a-Way bags with every Big Thread Bundle purchased.

This is the product I use to store my thread and it works great. There are 36 bags in the pack and 24 skeins of thread in the Big Thread Bundle - so you'll have some extra bags to use for any additional favorite colors you want to add to your palette.

And finally - in addition to some useful supplies - I'd like to recommend this gorgeous book. It's out of print now but you can find several used copies here. You can read my review here (and take a look at some of the lovely art). Here I'll just say it's an utterly inspirational book for anyone even remotely interested in embroidery.

One more quick reminder - there's just one Super Stitch Kit left in stock, and only 5 of the Big Thread Bundles. Once they're gone they will be gone until at least the middle of January. Get them now and make a stitchy friend happy. :-)

Happy Friday! And have a great weekend!

Best,
Wendi
