BOOK REVIEW
Who doesn’t love a good crossstitch book? You always want lots of great patterns in fun colors with witty descriptions and commentary, and amazing guidance on how to make the pattern your own or how to modify to suit your skill level. Those are difficult books to find. Usually, you have to sacrifice one for another like a great format, but the patterns aren’t your style, or the book has no personality. You know, like the book version of a rebound relationship, the one you settle for because it may be better than nothing. A Bitch in Time: 30 Snarcastic Stitches for You to Stab is not your rebound book. This is a long-term love book. Sister-and-brother team Tara and Roy Reed have created TITLE: A BITCH IN TIME: 30 SNARCASTIC STITCHES patterns worthy of their snarcasticness (or is it snarcastiFOR YOU TO STAB cy?): Fun, slightly inappropriAUTHORS: TARA K. REED + ROY W.P. REED ate, punny stitches that are COST: US$23.99 WHERE TO BUY: A BITCH IN TIME ETSY designed not only for their INSTAGRAM: @A_BITCHINTIME humor and shock value but for easy framing.
