I'm not left handed, but one of my fellow volunteers is, so I showed it to her and she was delighted. She didn't know it was in their library and said she'll probably borrow it soon. The coincidence about that is that an hour later, I was in an opshop not far from the Guild, and I found the same book - for $3! So I snapped it up, being sure that one or more of my stitching friends will be left handed, and will find this book useful.As for luck - being in the right place at the right time can be lucky. Again, while I was in the Guild library, one of the members came in with an arm full of tapestry and a cross stitch kit. She said one of her friends had decided to try stitching, but changed her mind, and said to give everything to the Guild - someone might want them. I wasn't interested in the tapestry, but I was VERY keen to add this to my stash!
Finally, here are two sweet vintage handkies that I found for 50c each at The Salvos Opshop.

They are all great finds, and the book, very coincidental.
As a leftie, I'd be really interested in what stitches are covered in the book. I'm more interested in the advanced type stitches and how many stitches are covered? I know that's a lot to ask, but I'd sure appreciate it -- thank you!
that left-handed primer is very interesting...and it would be helpful to those who are left-handed. I never thought about it before. You know, there's something so relaxing and tranquil about needlework. Special...
M.C.F., I have replied to you by email. It is a very comprehensive book, covering 55 stitches in all.
Maggie, I never thought about left handed stitchers either. My hubby is left handed and some of his power tools are designed for left handed people, which he says makes handyman stuff much easier!
