Comment by Julie Gleason on November 25, 2012 at 9:26: Oh, that is so beautiful. I am so glad I bought a book on reticello. I bought if from Giuliana called Stelle e Bordure a reticello. Should be here before long. I think this stitching is so pretty.

Comment by Grace Lister on November 25, 2012 at 4:34: What a wonderful piece of Reticello and the photos are so clear. This must have taken a very long time to do but isn't the finished item beautiful.

Be sure to post photos of your work. We would love to see the result of these workshops. What are the specific styles or techniques of these samplers?

Comment by Julie Gleason on September 22, 2012 at 11:33: Kathryn I think that's why I like doing those kind of samplers. I get to actually do a lot of different kinds of stitches. Kind of like getting my feet wet without having to do a lot.

The Crown of Pearls sampler looks like fun, and it will be a great future reference piece for you.

Comment by Julie Gleason on September 22, 2012 at 8:11: Starting Friday through Sunday I will be working on two samplers with Eieen Bennett as our teachers. I've never taken any of her classes but I love a lot of her designs. The first sampler is Little Green Acorns and will be a day class. The second is a two day class and the sampler is Crown of Pearls. My EGA chapter is putting these two classes on, I am so excited. The only thing I don't care about is it's a one hour drive one way to get there and I have to make this trip down and back three days.Oh well, I think it will be well worth my time.

Comment by Lorelei Halley on August 16, 2012 at 13:31: It's the way the picasa software works. To start, do a verbal search, both English and other languages. That way you find one person who has photos you are interested in. Then the software suggests all the people who are following her as of possible interest to you. You can go look at each and select which ones to follow. Then the software suggests all THEIR followers. Etc. After about a month of this I had collected a list of about 100 people I'm following. The software notifies me whenever they add more photos. That is where a lot of these links come from.

Picasa is especially good for Spanish language lace makers, but also Russian and eastern European, and a few others. There are a lot of really talented people out there.
