Crewel work.
I was waiting in the outpatient waiting room for Cancer Screening at
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Lord Love us, a woman was working a hoop in the next chair. I asked if she was doing CX, and she responded, "No, that means I have to count, and I'll be damned if I'm going back to that!" She was doing a crewel piece, but some of the stitches were large cross-stitches. Before I could tell her of the Sistine Chapel piece, I was called. Good news: No Melanoma. I'm clean!! But it proved to me: stitchers are a clan. tbtg! Lord love us, we all need it. Alex, with blessings to all. |

Very glad to hear that you got a clean bill of health. I've always
wanted to try Crewel and Needlepoint, Bargello but nobody I know knows how. I bought the Carolyn Ambuter complete book of needlepoint thinking that I could teach myself some stitches but I've been waylaid by the counted cross stitch piece Sleepy Hollow (the one with the Headless Horseman carrying his pumpkin head). |

The Art of Crewel Embroidery by Mildred Davis is my favourite crewel book - old, too old for an ISBN number - but found usually on places like alibris.com. Carolyn Ambuters canvas book is also excellent. I'm going to add the Davis book to my "wish list". I have the Ambuters book and love it. C I have the Ambuter book in my collection too. I wonder how many of us own it? Lucille |
