Somehow that should be a song, shouldn’t it? Anyway, I bought this totally cute little crewel project at an estate sale – I have a brazilian embroidery project to do that includes Turkey work and was warned off of it (and this is from some AMAZING stitchers). So, you know me, I had to have a go. First, I did the basics.
Then I watched the video:
Here’s my attempt at turkey work. Not bad. I have to say I LOVE crewel, it’s so forgiving. I think I’m headed to ebay to get another project... Read Full Story

I was catching up on some blog reading today and came across this post about “women’s art” by Sandra Dallas :
I love quilts. I appreciate the artistry and workmanship and the fact they are women’s art. But mostly, I love finding the secrets they tell. But I also love samplers, because like quilts, they have hidden stories.
Unlike quilts, samplers were not made by women sitting beside the hearth in the evenings. They were fashioned by young girls in finishing schools, girls learning... Read Full Story

So, I’ve posted a few pictures of this “in progress” but here it is (I’ll explain the pen in a second):
I’m really happy with it and trying to decide if my next one (I have 3 towels) should be the same – or a slight variation or completely different. I’ve decided I LOVE coming up with embroidery from clip art designs.
So, now the pen – it’s a pilot Frixion pen and it’s AWESOME! What I particularly love is you can trace a design and the tracing is black. I wasn’t in a rush to stitch this... Read Full Story

Wow, I am SO behind. However, this is a look at the beginning lace class I took a few weeks ago. The good news is that the teacher is following up with another class, so maybe my next piece won’t look so bad! ha h
First, I want to thank Linda with the Rocky Mountain Lace Guild – who set up the classes and who made all of the paper bobbins – when I heard “paper bobbins” I had no idea what to expect, but look at how pretty these are:
Then we got our kits, which is a board and some thread... Read Full Story
