It's kind of a cream colour, but I found someone who has some. Thanks anyway.
What color is this, a blue?
I have a large project I'm wanting to get started on, and I already have 20 skeins of DMC Perle Cotton #3, and 14 skeins of DMC Perle Cotton #5, but I'm still 6 skeins short of the #5, and I've just been informed that it's been discontinued! Can a...
Those are some beautiful photos. I was trying to figure out some of the stitches, and I think most of them are in Janice Love's book, or in Emie Bishop's A Collection of Beautiful Stitches. The rose coloured piece is especially interesting. It loo...
This certainly looks like the stitch Janice Love calls Edelweiss in her book, Fundamentals Made Fancy.
I was talking about the fabric threads. On the back of the piece, where two fabric threads intersect at the inside corners of the buttonhole stitching, I cut and remove both threads; the one going horizontally, and the one going vertically. (When ...
I myself LOVE picots, but don't use beads hardly ever. Regarding your comment on stitching around the edges to keep it from raveling, I don't do that anyhow, even on my more larger pieces and nothing has ever come apart. I don't know what you are ...
The thread on picots got me to thinking about other short cuts and/or tricks I use in stitching that I don't think are considered quite "conventional," so I thought I would create this thread so others can share what works for them.
I stated in t...
Profile Information
- What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- I used to do a lot of cross stitch, until I found a pattern for a Hardanger project in one of my cross stitch magazines. From then on, I was hooked, and Hardanger is pretty much all I do now.
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- There was a pattern for some Hardanger and cross stitch coasters in one of my issues of Needlework & Country Crafts. I enjoyed it, so when another pattern appeared a few months later, I did that as well. I discovered Nordic Needle through the suppliers list in back of the magazine, learned more stitches from Janice Loves two books, Basics & Beyond and Fundamentals Made Fancy. I've been hooked ever since.
- Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
- I am an American; grew up in the metropolitan Detroit area of Michigan, then moved to Texas. I lived in Houston for awhile, then moved to East Texas and lived there for several years until I moved to Australia in January 2008.

- Hey! Thanks for dropping by.
I do love hardanger especially :D Have you seen Threadworx threads? They're delicious.
If I ever get to Australia, I'll be sure to let you know! ;)

- Hi, Jeanne! I tried pasting the url and it worked!!! It was fun to look at her other hardanger pieces, as well. I'm doing the cutwork part now on a piece I've been working on for a while; it's a tablecover to go on a treadle sewing machine cabinet that's oak -- my grandma used the machine to sew clothes for my mom. The top of the cabinet actually needs to be refinished, but I thought it would be easier to just stitch a special hardanger piece to cover it up than to mess with refinishing it!

- Hi, Jeanne! Thanks for the comment -- unfortunately, though, I couldn't click on your link, and when I tried typing it in I didn't have any success, either. But it's a real thrill to hear that someone liked my design enough to want to re-create it themselves!!!!! Happy stitching -- Kim

- Hi Jeanne, lovely to "see" you here!
I can't comment on how you might be able to do all those things that you found you couldn't do. Perhaps it is a browser problem - unfortunately I don't know much about these things!
So glad you liked the book. :-)
