My dear friend Tanya recommended this book ... Handbook for the Soul. I downloaded it on my Kindle and just started reading it. It's very good so far.

  7. What fabric did you pick for the Susan Rambo? It looks great with the threads.

    Stitching and playing with stash is good therapy anytime!

    Happy Stitching!

  9. Stash is so much of the joy in stitching; right? I was just studying the Rambo sampler earlier this morning! Lovely choices you've picked. I know, I'm crazy, but when I opened that pic I thought, "what is she thinking with that cheese on her fabric!" Hugs and Happy Stitching to you!
