You want to learn to stitch but you don’t have the time to buy the fabric, decide on the thread colors, or transfer the design. You’re stretched to the limit (your job, family, and personal life) but you want to try embroidery. You think it will be fun and therapeutic. You want to stitch while you ride the subway, wait at the doctor’s office, the bank, or watch a child at a sporting event. If this is you, read on.

You're Square 771   $24.95
You'll only use one stitch (outline stitch) to create You're Square, a simple graphic pillow reminiscent of the 60's. Stitched on bright spring green linen, it will coordinate with both bright and neutral decors. It's an easy design, which is great for beginners and kids, too!

Going Dotty 772   $24.95
You can't go wrong with polka dots - they can be mod or old fashioned. Stitched on bright orange linen using only two stitches (backstitch and spider web stitch). This pillow will suit modern furniture and is particularly effective on floral sofas. Another great choice if you are a beginner or for kids.

Poodle Power 777   $24.95
Inspired by the Parisian poodle skirts of the 1950's, my girl tries to tame her unruly poodle. She's dressed in a polka dot sweater and floral skirt. The hot pink linen background gives a bright, nostalgic look to this retro design. You'll learn about six stitches including the fun-to-make, textural bullion knot.
