ABIT of Praise!
"I am a big fan of that special combination of classic cross-stitch and blunt humour, and with A Bitch In Time it looks like Tara and Roy have given that idea a good workout! I really like the variety of styles, from traditional to fresh, and there are plenty of sassy sayings to sink your needle into. There’s a broad range of tastes as well, so if you’re a self-respecting stitcher with a smart sense of humour, you’ve no excuse!

If you know someone who still believes that cross stitch is just for grannies, this book ought to change their mind, or sending them running away in fear – either way, result!
