Please include links! Joan In that case, Joan, the vey least I can do is be the first to answer. I've rediscovered blackwork. The first project this time around was the Wyndham Needleworks logo, "The Lady", designed by Sharon Cohen of the Nostalgic Needle. It's for my sewing corner, needless (needles?) to say. http://www.wyndhamneedleworks.com/ http://www.nostalgicneedledesigns.com/ The second is a fuchsia, my favorite flower, which I did in fuchsia, purple and dark green silk. It is from X-Calibre Designs in England, which has some lovely blackwork projects as well as a nice selection of other work. http://www.x-calibredesigns.co.uk Here's to another year of stitchery!

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 |

Ooh, I like the water lily!
As I posted under gifts, I've got Laura Perin's Amethyst Dreams and a handpainted beach-y canvas from Sign of the Arrow, a needlepoint shop in St. Louis. Never seen any of their stuff online though. . . Also been collecting some line art - anyone looked at urbanthreads.com? Love their stuff! Since we no longer have an LNS, I have to depend on the internet to spot new stuff. One thing that is a good source is craftgossip.com - links to freebies, independent designers, blogs, etc. Not just needlework, also glass making, edible crafts, polymer clay, jewelry, sewing and scrapbooking.

Please include links! I saw, I purchased, I have not yet stitched... (we should translate that into Latin for a sampler!) I plan to start Blue Ribbon Design's "Alphabet Zoo" soon for a baby gift. I think I'll do the child's name, selecting just those letters. Some of the letters are half-sized, so I'll do them smaller and use the space underneath (align the tops) to put in details, such as DOB, etc. http://www.crossstitchplus.net/d-BlueRibbon.html I haven't decided yet what color to do it in. I'm leaning toward a teal-ish blue, maybe DMC 930? (not silks...too expensive). I have some 40-count linen that it will look lovely on. Also bought some cotton yarn for an afghan that I plan to start soon for a friend's daughter who just bought her first condo. What do you know? I found a photo online: http://www.yarncollection.com/produc...spx?sku=200245 (Dang! The yarn I bought cost four times that!)

Please include links! Joan I started Teddy Bear Gathering and have nearly finished: http://www.dimensions-crafts.com/pro...idproduct=3182 I also have a table cloth set more than half done: Can't find a link, but it's Bucilla "Netherlands Bouquet" Table cloth plus the napkins, last touched 5 years ago. Somebody spank me! Tons of knitting projects. And tons of boxes still not unpacked and sorted from the various moves I've done. Catherine |
