Book review and giveaway: Quick & Easy Stitched Jewelry

There are many many beginner books out there, and there are even lots that have easy and attractive projects to create.  Quick & Easy Stitched Jewelry, written by Cathy Jakicic and published by Kalmbach, has a bit of a bonus feature though.  Cathy has generously designated all of the projects in this book as royalty-free.  Not only can you make them for yourself or as gifts for others, but she encourages you to sell them if you wish.

Rather than concentrating on just one stitch, this collection gives you ideas for many...peyote, square, ladder, herringbone, RAW, and bead embroidery.  Plus, there are instructions for the basic wirework you will need for constructing the finished pieces.

GIVEAWAY ALERT!!! 

Would you like a heaping handful of new projects this Spring?  Here's what you need to do...please read this carefully. Leave me a comment here and include your email address. If I don't see your email address, I will not contact you. No contact, no win, and I simply have to go on to the next person. You are welcome to spell it out if you'd prefer, for example, beadingarts at gmail dot com. If you tweet or post on Facebook or other social spots about the contest, you can leave a second comment and be entered twice! Deadline: April 20, 2016
