With My Needle and Pen
An Internet Sampler Newsletter
For 17 years (1997-2013) I published an internet sampler newsletter, With My Needle and Pen. You can read about the newsletter here.
Although the newsletter is no longer being published, I thought you might enjoy seeing the list of incredible projects we offered as stitch-alongs.
