John…when I received my booklet, I was surprised to see that I did this kimono 6 years ago but in a monochromatic palate. I will truly be doing a revisit. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it addicting. It went very quickly. I’m going to enjoy this because it will be in color. I have selected Blue, Green and Yellow as my primary color. I h…[Read more]

John, I think I’m ok on working out my threads. I’ll send a pic a bit later for you to see. But I do have a question concerning the threads. Let me first say that I am in a NP Shop desert. Like many my closest shop is 2 hrs away. I am also “woman” who likes to have my bases covered. I heard you about NOT reading pg 3. But could you…[Read more]

I just read the entire thread and found the instruction very helpful. Also the website you suggested has a palette generator. I put in the primary color in my overdyed and it created multiple palettes that I can use to pick the other overdyed. It is almost like using a color wheel that is used in quilting. What a blast!

I would like to buy Judy Jeroy\’s Technique Basics – An Introduction to Crewel and Surface Embroidery

I\’ll be fine – moving this next two weeks so focus is on other things. Weather in Texas is is cool today so this makes it easier to manage. I hate letting the movers move my craft room and that is unfortunate because that\’s were the bulk of my \”stuff\” is LOL

Good morning! I have received my booklet. Thank you! It looks well written and the diagrams will be very helpful.

John, I have chosen colours. Can you have a look and see what you think of my choices? Threadworx 1043 , dmc 3364,469, 934….second set Threadworx 1044, dmc 920,918, 922…third set Threadworx 11148, dmc 3854,976,3855 and one Krenik gold braid

It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn!

Picked this beauty up from the framers today. Libby and Mary did an awesome job. This was an EGA class, “A Frenzy of Fringes” by Jeannette Carmichael.

I got my Kimono instructions….Thank you so much

Rand, I see that it is Buzza in my profile too…I may have entered something with a typo originally…..Can you fix all these? BB

HI. I just noticed that my name is wrong on all my posts…it is Buzza, not Bizza. I\’m not sure when the problem first occurred. BB

I, too, called on Twisted Stitches in Albuquerque. Debbie was great. We emailed back and forth. She sent me pictures of possible combinations. We worked back and forth and came up with a game plan. I highly recommend their services. She was great!. In contrast, the four stores in my area were not interested in helping….send them a list…[Read more]
