    Would you know if Sundance supplies to a National Chain?  Many of the stores listed in my state shuttered even before the pandamic.

    Thank you.

    Hi I see two colorways for 421.  There is an ivory 421 and pearl ivory 421a.  Is one preferable?

    Thank you.

    Rona – Consider this a sample piece and simply try your ideas. Jump in and have a go at it ! Give yourself the freedom to remove anything you don’t like, as taking out is a part of any creative endeavor. What you’ve done before will not be compromised.

    Hi everyone, finding the beads has been a problem. So, I ended up purchasing them from Sundance Beads.

    It’s a #11 bead and the color number is 421. Check with your local NPS. If it’s still a problem. Let me know and I will work with you to get you the beads needed.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks

    Dawn

    Rona, I have been on vacation for the past 10 days and just got back to this discussion.  I think you posted a photo of your finished  – sort of finished anyway – embroidery.   I would like to look at it before I comment more than this.   I do think your choice of #12 Perle is a good one as it is finer and will not take away from your other sti…[Read more]

    Good morning.  First of all, Kim I too am sorry for your losses.  It is never easy to lose just one loved one  but two has to be unbelievably worse.  I certainly wish you the best and hope you get through this as well as possible.

    Hello!

    I feel done with the medallions and bands and would like to add some filler now. I have found the stitches I think would work, and have chosen the perl cotton I want to use (#12 — I think it will be subtle). But, I am afraid to get started. This often happens to me a some stage of a project; in this case, I am afraid I will make mistakes…[Read more]

    Kim, I am so sorry for all your loss! Sending love and hugs, and wishes that stitching brings you peace and comfort. If you’d like to stay in touch about this project, I understand there is an EGA Fcebook group, stitch-a-long.

    Good luck!

    Hi Solveig,

    Well done they look fantastic!! Have you put them on your tree yet or is it a bit early? My tree is going up Sunday and I will be putting mine up near the top so my toddler can’t reach them!

    Have a lovely Thanksgiving!

    Deborah expressed some interest, Donnie. Otherwise, no one. Meanwhile, Marsha our teacher shared the other day that there is an EGA  Facebook group “Stitch-a-Long”; this might be a good way to go if there is no further interest.
