If you&#8217;ve never tried Mountmellick, this is a very pretty project to start learning with, and works up into a lovely textured cushion.<\/p>\n<p>Purchase the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/wildflower-cushion.html\">Mountmellick Wildflower Cushion Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Left-Handed Embroiderer&#039;s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer&#039;s Companion\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/stitch-dictionaries.jpg\" title=\"The Left-Handed Embroiderer&#039;s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer&#039;s Companion\" class=\"alignleft\" width=\"180\" height=\"245\" \/><strong>The Left-Handed Embroiderer&#8217;s Companion OR<br \/>\nThe Right-Handed Embroiderer&#8217;s Companion<\/strong><br \/>\nEveryone I can think of is either left-handed or right-handed (ok, maybe a few are ambidextrous), so chances are, you are either left or right-handed too. <\/p>\n<p>Our stitch dictionaries have been a huge hit with stitchers this year. The left-handers have all been so incredibly grateful that there is now a fabulous comprehensive stitch dictionary just for them. And even right-handers, who have many more stitch dictionaries to choose from have put The Right-Handed Embroiderer&#8217;s Companion on the top of their pile of references. <\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re left or right-handed and like embroidery (or someone else special does) this is the perfect gift.<\/p>\n<p>Purchase <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/left-handed-book.html\">The Left-Handed Embroiderer&#8217;s Companion<\/a>.<br \/>\nPurchase <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/stitch-dictionary.html\">The Right-Handed Embroiderer&#8217;s Companion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mighty Bright Booklight<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mighty Bright Booklight\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/mighty-bright.jpg\" title=\"Mighty Bright Booklight\" class=\"alignright\" width=\"142\" height=\"170\" \/>My final suggestion (apart from just having a good browse through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/cat.html\">Vetty Creations online shop<\/a>) is our Mighty Bright Booklight, which is just perfect for embroiderers on the move. <\/p>\n<p>This cute little battery operated double LED lamp (you can use just one of the LEDs or both for stronger light) can clip onto your hoop or frame, which means you&#8217;ve got your hands free to sew, and have good light, even though you might be waiting at the doctors, on a train, or waiting for the kids to finish their music lessons. If you&#8217;re not using a hoop, it can also stand on a table, or clip onto your lapel.<\/p>\n<p>The gooseneck means that you can position it wherever you want. As it is so compact and lightweight and can be popped in your bag with your latest sewing project. Its a great addition to anyone&#8217;s sewing kit.<\/p>\n<p>Purchase the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/catalogue-needles.html#booklight\">Mighty Bright Booklight<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One last suggestion&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nAnd at this point I&#8217;d also love to say that I believe the<strong> best gift you could give anyone this Christmas would have to be Jesus<\/strong>.
