This week I’ve had two acquaintances ask for me to stitch something for them. The first person wanted an ornament and was shocked by the price. The second person wanted to commission me to stitch a baby shower present that’s about 10x10. She basically offered to cover supplies.

The thing is… I stitch for joy and my stitching is a labor of love. I don’t think a “commission” would be very fun for me. I’m sure quilters and other hobbyists run into this same issue.

I’m happy to encourage someone to stitch their own project and I’m happy to coach them with fancy stitches, but I don’t want to do it for them. 😭

Hi y’all! I’m wanting to slowly build my collection because I love a good fancy stitch.

I obviously have Stitches To Go.

I also have The Needlepoint Book, Third Edition by Jo Ippolito Christensen, the Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory deck, & Next Level Needlepoint.

Which other books do y’all recommend? I am thinking Ins & Outs.
