    Hello. I am hoping very much that I may still be able to join the ongoing group which Gina Maria has so kindly started. Owing to some health issues I have been unable to participate in the group to date – and I am in process of contacting Laura – although I have read all her wonderful notes , advice and ideas. I am also hoping I am not too late…[Read more]

    A little crow— a local arts group *asked* me to submit work to be juried for their next show! I know it still has to be juried in, but I was quite chuffed that they reached out to me.

    Hi Judy,

    I’m having trouble with knotting the thread once I’ve completed a practice stitch. I’m wrapping the thread around the needle about 4 times and going under stitches, but the knot is always about a 1/4” above the fabric. I just can’t seem to get the knot to lay on the fabric. It’s especially bad when I do a straight stitch.

    I have been doing some research for a new design and looking at the portraits of the women and men of the Tudor period – think Elizabeth I or any of the wives of Henry VIII. There is some interesting blackwork on the clothing. It is fun to see just how the blackwork that we do now has historical roots.
    How are you doing with the basket? I know…[Read more]

    I’m back home from seminar and looking at the huge pile of kits I bought at merchandise night, plus the big projects from my two courses. What should I work on? (Ignoring the four kits I recently bought from Inspirations magazine or the various UFOs sitting around the living room.)

    I should probably finish a few things before starting anything…[Read more]

      I’m working on the Elizabethan plum tree for now, as I think I have time to finish it before I start cranking out this year’s Christmas ornaments. Over the weekend I finished up the long & short stitch on the branches, did the satin stitch on the plums, and couched down the gold on six of the plums. (The ground, the trunk, that bit of a leaf, and…[Read more]
