Profile

Please answer in full as if I think you are a spammer I do not approve membership. What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
I enjoy working with all types of textiles. Just about anything having to do with fiber and/or needles, Handwork is my favorite, feeling the different textures, and holding the cloth and fibers in my hands.
Where did you learn your textle skills?
I am mostly self taught from books. I can also figure out a lot of techniques just by looking at samples of needlework.

Thanks for your reply Carol. You're quite right - if I look at the overall project it's a bit intimidating, but if I do as you suggested, and just think about one seam at a time without worrying about the others, it will fall into place. I feel better already! I'll post a message on my Page here when I've started embellishing.

Hi Carol
Just visiting some of the TAST group members' pages and arrived here! Your stitching is superb; I've just made my very first CQ block and have been looking at other people's CQs for ideas. Trouble is, I get overwhelmed by all the beautiful work out there and think "I'll never be able to do that"...but I can try!

Hi Carol,
I would love to know more about your pattern for the boot needlecase so when you get to it, let me know. Your work, shown in the photos above, is just beautiful! Sandi

Carol,
Since the cowboy boot is your own design, I need to ask you a question. Do you have a pattern for it? If yes, can you e-mail me so I may let my friend Kate know. If no pattern, do you mind if I am inspired by the design and sketch a boot for my friend Kate? I have some cowboy boot fabric that I plan to give her and a needlecase along with it would really be a special addition.
