      Hi. I just want to chime in here as a member of Starlight Stitchers, who hosted the TNE exhibit last year. It was an amazing experience for us, to see such incredible works up close and personal. We do see great examples at the State Fair, for instance, but embroidery exhibits are few and far between, at least in our neck of the woods. The TNE…[Read more]

      I’m getting ready to begin (signed up for Lightening Round). Found fabric in my stash this morning. Next up, choosing the most historical threads I can find.

      Hi! I also signed up to do the sweet bag. I have had a lot of delays and interruptions, and am a little discouraged about undertaking it solo, but it was the only way for me to get my hands into it. How has your project progressed so far?

      And that took 24 hours to get to.
      I am almost done, Adrielle. I have finished the stitching, and put the Pulls and Strap on the bag Friday. Today I hope to start th lacing slits before coffee wears off. I don’t want to mess that up.
