Maureen’s Magnum Opus

Don’t forget to take several glances at the photograph of this beautiful needlebook. When completed, the spine of the book has your personalization, and actually stands up like a book. This piece is to be a part of your stitching nest for many months to come, and Oh what an heirloom you shall create. Maureen taught this creation of hers to several students in 2008, and now is proud to offer it to her avid stitchers worldwide.
