    Hi John, (Thank you, Rand),
    I have added photos of my threads. The leftmost photo is of my overdyes, all by Threadworx. Outline is being stitched in 3371 Dark Brown, on Eggshell canvas. I tried to show the DMC # for each skein. The rightmost photo is of Kreinik and shiny DMC. Please let me know what you might add or eliminate. Thanks,…[Read more]

      Lets get those threads as I have outlined. We can then talk more about what we will do after we get a chance to see them all together. Please get this going and we will work together to get ready to have your threads all put together to creat your own individual kimono.
      Thanks!!

      Just to clarify, you want to see the overdyes with each of the trios derived from them, right?

    • Profile picture of John Waddell
      John Waddell replied 4 years, 11 months ago

      You are good and that is exatly what i want.

      Put the overdyed thread down with the solid color threads arranged around the overdyed. Important to leave a space between sets of overdyed threads with the related solid colors.
      Questions are great and save time!

    I’m finally ready to begin Gay Ann Roger’s “Chloe’s Wedding Dress”. I purchased the design several years ago at an EGA seminar. The instructions begin on page 3, and do not include the fabric used or thread count. I’ve sent sent emails to three different addresses and called her phone with no response. Has anyone used this pattern and…[Read more]

    We are much closer to having our Region Seminar up and going. Our members are working hard to convert everything we know to virtual presentations. Our teachers are all learning to teach via Zoom, so it is a steep learning curve for everyone. We are very disappointed in the registration numbers now that they have closed, but we will press onward.

    I’m wondering about using a roller bar for this project? I have used roller bars for linen, but never for canvas. Does anyone have any experience with this? John? Thanks>
