Does anyone know how to get an e-mail response from the Guild? I've sent an e-mail twice to the contact given on their website for courses etc, but have not been replied to as yet. Anyone know a better one to try?? There's no point in 'phoning with…
Well done on getting bright, shiny needles. Mine got an early clean before I went to do the talk for the Warrington embroidery guild last week.
In reply to the question from Nancy about the emery strawberries, I was told by my tutor that the emery…
I have shiney, happy needles now :-)
This is just lovely. The design, the embellishment, everything! You can really feel the loneliness and sorrow of the poor crow. I too would like to see some of the details. Can't wait to see you do for your other journal pages.
Hi everyone I will have to stop on the way home from work to buy some fine paper to be ready for my Broken Needle Festival.
Hi everyone. On her site under the "blog title", Anne Gomes has written what is done at the Japanese Embroidery Centre in Atlanta--very fine sandpaper is used. I was told by a teacher or another stitcher at some time (I do not remember who or when)…
Hello
I had nearly forgotten about the needle blessing day on 8th Feb until Sue mentioned it.
People used to do it traditionally, but nowadays it is Dress Making Schools that keep the custom going of thanking and improving their needle skills.

My photos are not the best, will replace them later. I won't be at Bournemouth in March but will definitely be there in September. I have Himotaba here, just waiting for Margaret to tell me how to do the prep work, I shall have plenty of time to work carefully. My design is on the old Nishijin gold and although I had some colours in mind the gold colour may make it necessary to change some Like you, the ducks will be after that which I shall work in September.

- Hello Carol-Anne, Not getting around my page very well, have only just noticed your kind comments regarding .Spring View' back in October.
Seem to have lost track of you and your work, what are you working on at the moment?
My karahana is pretty grim but I can't rework for ever.
I do admire your page. Best wishes

Thanks for your message, yes I am hoping to go to Bournemouth in March but it depends on whether I receive my Phase V piece in time to do the preparation work before the course.
Still finding my way around the Stitching Fingers site, I am not very good with acknowledging or sending messages etc yet! Hope to put some pictures on my page shortly.

The photos are of Midori's fans, I had them professionally photographed for her... mine are still in progress but I wanted people to see what I am making and working on. I am bringing Midori to the USA in February 2011 to teach them, check my web page for details.

- Jean Julier (jeanjulier@aol.com) has organized several fan classes with Midori teaching. You might wish to contact Jean and see when the next class is. They are great!

I was at class with Marion Howse this summer when they unveiled the new clasp and shape for the Floral Melody kits. When they first offered the handbag they charged us for the frame but would not give it to us. I begged them to give us the clasps in case they mislaid them. So a few years later they agreed to include them with the kit.... well this week one of my first students completed her Floral Melody and they are OUT of the handles and they are questioning her about the handle claiming she had it. I had to resurrect my old invoice stating we paid for a handle that would be given out later.
The Peacock is one of my favorite handbags with the variety of color.
The Checker Handbag is quite easy but I did throw away the polyester velvet that came with the kit and purchased high quality silk velvet when I returned from class. I also used a 2" band of fusible black fabric interfacing on all four edges of the silk velvet to reinforce where the lacing and end fabrics pulled. The velvet provided in the kit ripped away from the frame the second I added my chop sticks. It was a disaster. Poor Ms. Matsukawa-san was devastated when my velvet ripped. I told her I would replace it with silk velvet and she said she was told silk velvet was not available in the US for the JEC to kit with.
