    This may help you get your questions answered faster.
    If you are directing a question to your teacher or a fellow student and want to make sure it’s not missed, you must mention that person in your comment by typing @ followed by their name, you should see the name pop up letting you click on it as in the image below.

    Has anyone signed up for Shimmering Dreams and not received their materials.? I have called the headquarters twice and emailed Mona, the teacher, and still have not received anything. Checked my spam and trash folders too.

      I have had a similar experience. I’ve emailed and called headquarters. They have also emailed her. I still haven’t received anything and my order was placed back in January.

      Patty and JaNaye, I know I have talked with you both, and we are still working on the HQ end to get this problem solved. I also want you to get your LR materials as soon as possible!

    OK John. Let’s try again. I have broken down the one photo into six. My apologies, since it is raining heavily today in NJ, the colors don’t come across as bright as they might.

      I’m not quite ready Jennifer. I can’t find instructions for the New England Laid Stitch. Is that what you used on the bird and can you advise where to find that instruction? Thanks in advance for response. I don’t want to do it wrong.

        Hi,

        The New England Laid stitch is on page 18 of “The Perky Bird” which is the third part of lesson 2.

          Thank you so very much. My mistake as I only printed one set of Table of Stitches. Assumed it covered every pattern. You have been so helpful and I appreciate your response.
