Hi Kelly: I see that you also do needle punch. Do you have any hints or tricks to this? I tried this a couple of times, but my yarn loops kept coming undone. Do you use stabilizer on the back? Any hints would be appreciated. Mary Ann S.

At 11:52am on February 19, 2009, Iris said…: Yes, I am tempted with the pastels. I always love them when other people work them, but can never manage to get them to look right when I work them myself. I guess different strokes for different folks. I may spread out of my comfort zone a little more next time around. For now the quilting will be enough of a challenge, I think.
The exciting thing, apart from learning new things in class, will also be to see what everyone else comes up with.
It is always amazing to see how many different ideas seem to evolve from the one original source of inspiration.
Have fun.
