Welcome November
I thought this beautiful creation from Plays with Needles would be a great way to kick off the chilly month of November. Halloween may be gone but the beauty of fall is still here!

Look what we got our hands on…

And we couldn’t be more thrilled. Except for one point…we don’t get to keep it.
You do!
That’s right, we have a copy PUSH Stitchery, the contemporary embroidery book curated by Mr X Stitch (aka Jamie Chalmers) that’s been all over the crafty blogosphere of late and debuting to rave reviews. And you can win this copy!

What do you have to do? Just leave a comment on this post and you’re entered! You have ’til Monday, Oct. 3, 2011 at 11:59pm Central time. We’ll announce our randomly generated winner next week.
So what’s all the fuss about?

This new book is a gorgeous collection of cutting edge embroidery from artists from all over the world. It’s got interviews with the creators as well as beautiful full page photos of absolutely divine stitchery.

If you ever feel the need to defend your embroidery as an art form, this is the book to keep on your coffee table. This collection of artists and crafters shows just what this medium can do, and do it well.
Jaime’s collection shows that embroidery is not just alive, but thriving as the counterculture graffiti of today’s crafting generation. I love it.

And I’m not the only one. You better hurry up an enter, because this book is just dripping with delicious stitches, and you know Craft Bunny’s penchant for devouring all things tasty and crafty.
(though I do promise your copy will be delivered free of chompy bunny marks)

Usually, if I get wine on my embroidery, it’s a sign I seriously need to stop and go to bed. If you’re artist Amelia Harnas, it’s all part of the piece.
Go check out some of the amazing and delicate portraits she’s created using wine stains and embroidery over on Colossal.
