I brou

ght with me from home an embroidery tool that i was not able to get from here in the UK. It's a hands free embroidery hoop. I then had to think of a way to get one, so instead of ordering them from home, which would have cost a fortune, I made my own. If any one wants one, let me know.

Hello all - I have recently been de-stashing with a friend. We have some threads, lots of stamps (alphabet ones) and a couple of magazines listed on my blog so far. If anyone is interested please have a look.

We operate RibbonSmyth in Bucks County, PA. We carry two thousand items all for embellishing ~ anything that will sit still long enough to be embellished! We just started a blog in hopes of offering tutorials on how we use some of those fibers in our studio! sign up for our newsletter to receive notices on our sales and special offers at www.ribbonsmyth.com

We have a super workshop with that famous designer Stephanie Novatski coming up at the RibbonSmyth studio in September and October! If you live on the East Coast, join us!

When not working in the Studio, I enjoy teaching a variety of techniques in the US and Europe. But when home, I enjoy collage, ribbon embroidery, punch needle, cq, our gardens at our farm "Shrieking Tree Farm". Our current undertaking at the farm is major renovation of our 208 year-old farmhouse.

Hi Everyone,
I've just joined here so a little intro. I live in France. I am a professional seamstress, plus I teach P&Q also I do quite a bit of textile art such as hand dyed cotton etc and am in the process of setting up a e-shop to sell textile art supplies such as procion dyes etc here in Europe. To begin with, my site will be in English and French. I hope to add Italian and mayvbe Spanish at a later date.
Must admit I'm having difficulty getting my wed site done. Mt DH is a software developer so it should be easy but here in France they have a saying about the cobbler's children always being badly shod - the same applies to families of computer people and getting IT stuff done. VBG

bye
Margo

I am new to the market of selling my art items, such as my handbags and a few other fabric articles I will have in a festival I am planning for this fall. I am thinking I need to get some of the sewed in tags for my items that have my name on it. Does anyone know where I can have some of these made and still keep cost down? thanks. .Janet
