Another twelve months has past since we first began our 3"x3" needlework charts of heraldic charges. That, of course, means that there is another set of twelve
of these charts available for purchase, making 84 in all at the present time (seven years' worth). For a complete listing of all of the available needlework charts,
see our Needlework page.
Well, it's been another two years of reviewing movies for Da'ud Bob ibn Briggs, Historical Drive-In Movie Critic. (His motto: "We watch 'em so you don't have
to!") So we are pleased to announce the publication of the twelfth volume of this on-going series of movie reviews. Da'ud Bob ibn Briggs Goes to the Movies,
Volume XII, is now available. You may order it by mail from our Order Form (in Word format or in .pdf format), or on-line from the Da'ud Bob movie review
page.
Test your knowledge of many of the movies we have reviewed over the years. Take the new Da'ud Bob ibn Briggs Historical Drive-In Movie Quiz! Take the
test on-line here, or download a .pdf version here. And then compare your results with the Answers found here.
We keep regularly adding entries to our blog about heraldry a minimum of twice a week. It's musings of one kind or another about some of the heraldry that we
see, or find, or research. The hope is that our readers will find it informative, educational and interesting. We also have links to some of the better armorials,
heraldry websites, heraldry books, heraldic clipart and other blogs about heraldry, to all of which we continue to add as we find good ones. We encourage you
to check it out and, if you find it interesting, to drop back by on a regular basis to see what's been added there. Or you can become a Follower and get updates
emailed directly to your in-box. You can find our blog, Heraldry: Musings about an esoteric topic on-line at http://blog.appletonstudios.com
In addition to our new and original heraldry books, coloring/pattern books, heraldic bingo game (found here), we also offer gently used and remaindered (like
new) heraldry books for sale. Please see our Used Books page for details of what we currently have available. This listing will change as books are sold and
new titles are added, so keep checking back. Even we don't know when or what we'll find on our next book hunting trip!
Drop by our Free Stuff page, where we will place various goodies that you can access or download for free.
Our free needlework chart for September has been uploaded here (or you can use the link on our Free Stuff page). (These needlework charts are a series of
charts of various heraldic charges. They are in .pdf format, but if you'd prefer one of these free charts as a .jpg or .gif or in some other format, please feel free to
write, telephone, or e-mail us at the address, telephone number, or e-mail addresses here and we will be happy to send you one! Let us know which format you
prefer.)
We also sell a set that includes the first twelve of these needlework charts, another set that features the second twelve, a third set that features the third dozen,
another of the fourth dozen, and yet another with the fifth dozen. Or you can get a CD-ROM with all 60 charts on it (each chart is 3"x3", 18 stitches/inch). More
information and a description of what these packages include can be found here.
Naturally, we're hoping that you will see actual examples of what we can produce and ask us to create charts of larger, more complex heraldic works, or
customized needlework or embroidery charts on any subject. In the meantime, though, we are finding it a fun project that let's us combine our various interests -
heraldry and textile arts - and we hope that you may find them entertaining and educational, as well.
