Free Stitch Guide

Enriched Stitch has posted another free stitch guide on their blog.  This is for a Valentine heart on 13 count from their line of canvases.  You can buy the kit from them or just use Suzie's ideas elsewhere.  Regardless, Happy Valentine's Day!

Suzie's next guide is for Busy Bee.  It's a fast and easy stitch.
