New from Amy Bunger and Lori Carter UPDATE

The April-May 2018 newsletter from Amy Bunger's shop shows off new guides from Amy herself and from Lori Carter.  Lori's doing small ornaments that coordinate with Kelly Clark's Zero Degrees North set of canvases and finishing up Raymond Crawford's Twelve Stars of Christmas series.  Amy's doing a set of Christmas trees from Maggie, a perfume bottle from Labors of Love and one of Lani's interiors.  As always, it is a fun read even if you aren't in a market for a stitch guide.

Amy's Stitch Guide Makeover

Amy Bunger has updated her Amy's Golden Strand shop website.  You can read about the update (and see a listing of the newest stitch guides available from Amy and a listing of the guides she is working on now) in her Feb/March 2017 e-newsletter.  By the way, at the very end of the newsletter Amy shows off students' stitching so you can see what the end product for some of her guides looks like.
http://www.amysgoldenstrand.com/uploads/7/2/3/6/72364657/0213.pdf

This is a direct link to the stitch guide section of the updated website.  Remember to go to AMYSGOLDENSTRAND.COM, not the AmyBunger.com website, which still goes to the old website format.

Amy's Newest Stitch Guides (December 2016) UPDATED

Amy Bunger has started listing her newest stitch guides in her shop newsletter.  Here is the Dec. 2016 edition.  I'm hoping once her new website is available that you can find everything there.
http://www.amybunger.com/f/1216.pdf

She also lists new guides by Lori Carter.  It's a fun read regardless, but you will get a glimpse of some of the designs stitched by Lori to give you an idea of what the finished piece will look like if you purchase the guide.  That's always nice!

UPDATE:  The February 2017 e-newsletter also shows off new guides by Amy, Lori Carter or Jill Wilensky.
http://www.amybunger.com/f/0217.pdf

UPDATE #2:  Here are more finished pieces using one of Amy's guides.
