and tree trunks
Tip of the Month
Working with Very Velvet

When stitching with velvet, run it between your fingers, down the entire length of your strand, before stitching with it.  This will remove any lint from other fibers that might be clinging to the velvet. This works for others fibers as well.
Projects for Children 
There's still time for your child to stitch a project before  school starts!
