    Margaret, thank you so much for your reply. I did not see that there was a “directions” file as well as the “discussion” file. After your reply I tried to download the rest, but all weekend was unable to even login to the class. I kept getting a critical error message. I finally emailed Rand today and he was quickly able to correct my problem. I…[Read more]

    Another topic is that I would like to propose is that we have a required 6 hours of volunteer work as a judge and 12 hours continuing education annually. Hours would be one hour for each hour of activity. The volunteer hours would have to be related to judging, such as a lecture, volunteer judging, sponsoring an apprentice,an article related to…[Read more]

    This is a picture of the mask my husband designed. Splat is what he calls the program that he has been working on forever. One evening he announced that he would like me to make a mask. I asked him what color. He asked if I could stitch a normal curve. (Our daughter points out that a normal curve is not a color.) Anyway, after awhile he…[Read more]

    Correctly doing this cute little stitch from T he Drawn Thread, using 32 ct fabric and my choice of DMC threads from my stash. Had a lot of difficulty with the vines for some reason and frogged repeatedly, but I was having a brain fog day, so that could be why.

    Buenas dias, Margaret. I have used backstitch before in stitching a needlework piece, but not quite in the way that you are using it in this piece. The instructions for using the backstitch in ending a thread is a little unclear. Is the thread cut off behind the canvas when ending or on front of the canvas as is done in the beginning when…[Read more]
