Welcome to the "I Love Books" Stitch Along! Are you a book lover? Do you enjoy curling up with a good book and getting lost in a story? If so, this stitch along is perfect for you! Each month, I will be releasing a new part of the pattern, featuring a different genre of book. From romance to mystery to science fiction, there will be something for everyone in this stitch along. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced stitcher, this pattern is designed to challenge and inspire you. The finished piece will be a beautiful tribute to your love of books and will make a great addition to any book lover's home decor. The stitch along will begin on the 1st of the month, with a new part of the pattern being released each month for a total of 12 parts.
