Not really designs but I want to do all, and I do mean all, the stitches shown
on http://www.loopylace.com/crazyquiltstudio/lessons/embroidery.htm I'd be
happy if I got a tenth of them looking good.


OMG that is fabulous.

Anne, THANK YOU for sharing that link. It's inspiring! (and it's
Bookmarked!)

Old design -- Michaels is clearancing some OOP Bucilla kits. I'm
working on BFF, and acquired "Spoiled Rotten" in the same shopping trip.
Do you think my niece will be humored or offended by it?

Considering if it were my nieces who'd get nothing, I think your niece
will probably be humored.

My 12-year-old granddaughter was highly amused by the "Spoiled Rotten" I
gave her. My guess is your niece will be secretly pleased to think that she
is spoiled!

Thanks to Felice, who reminded us there have been few stitchy posts
recently, and in the spirit of a New Year coming, I hereby submit the
following enabling question:

What new design(s) have you recently seen/purchased? *Please include

Joan

As soon as I finish something largeish, I've got Ink Circles Much-
Heralded Sampler on my brain. I'm changing colors. Tried one
combination, but after thinking it over realized I had it wrong. I've
got another idea and hope to go to my LNS tomorrow to see what I can
find to fulfill my vision.

I'm a sucker for a lion rampant...

You're quite welcome. I love CQ (crazy quilt) stitch combinations. I thought I
was breaking all kinds of rules when I nested several detached chain stitches
to simulate a lace edge. Little did I know that I was being creative ;-)

I'm very tempted to take SharonB's Joggle class. However, I often can't wrap
the thread around the needle in the right place just looking at a diagram. I
need someone to show me sigh

p.s. do you want me to post links to SharonB's blogs and web site?

Maureen loves blackwork, particularly the designs from medieval
tombstones. She finds it makes a refreshing change from cross-stitch

Aaah! Medieval tombstones would make lovely blackwork, but I've never
seen any. Does Maureen have a source, or does she (gasp!) design her own?

Felice


Maureen is a staunch Ricardian but doesn't design her own I'm afraid.
She uses websites such as this one
http://www.needlework-tips-and-techniques.com/blackwork-kits.html

As a follow-up I took some quick snaps and put them into an album
http://www.stronsay.co.uk/claremont/stitches
My photography doesn't do justice to Maureen's needlework
Lovely and I do like the choice of frames

Ditto the fabulous and bookmarkability. Wonderful site. Fortunately
I have a WIP/UFO I can apply it to without breaking my 3 completions/1
new project rule.

Yes, yes....


I should add "do at least one crazy quilting project to my resolutions"

Sharon B's web site: http://inaminuteago.com/
her new blog: http://www.pintangle.com
her old blog: http://sharonb.wordpress.com/

I'm inspired by the variety of things people do on crazy quilts and like to
emulate the techniques. Putting a CQ together is too mind boggling for me.

I'd do something small - I have a needlebook kit from Pepperell Pepper
Patch. Don't know if they are still in business (I think not).
