Shelly Tribbey's Double-Sided Ice Skates

It looks as if the double-sided canvases that Shelly Tribbey sells that are made up into ice skates come with stitch guides.

I don't know who wrote the guides or if all the skate series canvases have them, but if you love these charmers, it won't hurt to ask your favorite shop to find out for you.

Evil Queen (Liz Goodrick Dillon and Amy Bunger)

The Evil Queen (canvas by Tapestry Tent) was stitched by Jeanne using Amy Bunger's guide.

I don't know if the guide only is available from Amy at this point (this is a recent Home Study) but you can ask her.
