  • EJ and Sheila discuss their customized two-year planners and how they track their stitching goals.
  • They share tips on using Sulky 12-weight thread for 18-count fabric, noting it's a good alternative to pearl cotton.

  • Sheila receives a gift from Holly: 'St. Kitts Mermaid' by Nora Corbett, which she is backstitching and beading.
