Potter Crafts

In particular, it turns out that The Leaky Cauldron, a Harry Potter fansite, has some needlework projects, including a collection of house crests meant for plastic canvas work but could easily be adapted to another fabric.

New Stitcher Finish!

Bev at Easy Crafts 4 Fun shows off her daughter Jillian's second ever finish. It's a cute pair of hearts, that's impressing me simply bc she backstitched the outlines and smiles. I know lots of long time stitchers who still hate backstitching. And, I think those are french knots on the background as well. Great job!
