Guide Review - Book Review
Regular viewers of this site, know I became addicted to needle felting possibilities when I saw the Janome Xpression Needle Felting Machine. This week I received Needle Felting by Hand or Machine by Linda Turner Griepentrog and Pauline Wilde Richards.
I have met both of these women and have first hand experience with their wonderful creativity. This book increased my original impressions of their creativity.
