September is National Sewing Month

Go to www.sewing.org for projects, learn-to-sew articles, ideas and more.

There are still a lot more needlebooks to cover, but I think I will take a small break and post about something different next......!

Gorgeous needlebooks! Do you display them somehow. They'd be beautiful in a big frame or something. Ok, off to see all the other cool goodies you have posted!

Hi Marian--me again! Go peek at my blog--there's a special award there waiting for you. You can save it and then bestow it upon those that you choose to. Smile!
