Mary's Whimsical Stitches Volume Two is now available for preorder. Mary Legallet, the author of the book, is a well-known national teacher. Every stitcher looking for fun, innovative stitch suggestions needs Mary’s new book.

This book contains a collection of more than 250 stitches for any skill level.

Mary includes a fantastic index suggesting where each stitch could be used. The book is truly designed for stitchers from beginner to advanced, and also includes an informative chapter on the basics of needlepoint- a handy reference for all skill levels.

One of the features that makes Mary’s book so unique is her use of Instagram URLs. At the bottom of many of the pages, there is a web URL that, when typed into an internet browser, will show a picture of what the stitch looks like stitched on a painted canvas.

Preorders for this book will be filled in January when Volume Two is released. Preorder today to make sure you don’t miss out!
