New Books
My mom found me a special birthday gift, Inspirations for Embroidery by Constance Howard. Full of wonderful creative free form embroidery ideas.

Ahhhh, Constance Howard. Those are wonderful books and she was a most interesting person. Did you know that her hair was green ... malachite green. She had decided in her earlier years that she would never be a gray haired old lady. And she most certainly wasn't. When I was walking with her (late 1970's in northern Wisconsin) a car full of punk kids drove past and one of them leaned out the window shouting, "Hey, lady, we like your hair!".
I have recently moved, and in the process have lost my copy of Inspirations for embroidery. Mine had a different picture on the cover but that picture was one I remember being inside, so think mine must have been an earlier edition. I am off to amazon
It is great to read of Constance Howard.
