Christmas Present for Me
I just have to share! I bought myself (I just love buying myself a
Christmas present - that way I get what I want) a wooden floss holder. It is just exquisite. It's as lovely as Fred's Stitch Away frames if ya'll are familiar with them. It's from a company called Patches N Planks. This particular item isn't on their web site yet but the address is www.patchesnplanks.com. When I ordered it, they told me I wouldn't receive it until January as they were booked up for Christmas. Since it was a gift for myself, I said that was fine with me. I was trillled to receive it yesterday. It has 9 drawers just wide enough for my Floss-Away bags. I've been wanting one for several years and asked Jim McNamara about making one for me before he quit his woodworking business. But that didn't pan out. It was expensive, but SO worth it to me. Just thought I'd share. I found out about this company through the magazine (Stitcher's World). We have used several of their items for projects. I was very impressed with the quality of all the items we have used. (We are always looking for ways to finish projects besides framing.) A Very Happy Janet!! |

How wonderful to treat yourself to such a lovely Christmas gift!
I use Floss-away bags too and that's nice your cabinet can store these packs so neatly. From you post, you're going to enjoy using your new cabinet for a lot of happy stitching projects! --- Lula http://www.woolydream.com Needlework Adventures Janet Walker wrote: I just have to share!

Hi Janet,
After looking at their web site I would say you got a bargain. *Any* hand crafted *all wood* product appears very expensive these days when compared to particle board veneer junk but the *all wood* product lasts much longer and is usually worth the extra $$. As Jim can attest to, one has to have a production run of at least a dozen of one item in order to meet costs and buy a bag of dog food. Not being able to line up a dozen customers at a time is why I don't make floss cabinets. I have done the onesie, twosie route resulting in chicken one day feathers the next routine and learned. The cherry wood bobbin lace floor stands at $650 a pop were nice to make (see http://www.stitchaway.com) but there were too few connoisseurs of cherry wood furniture to make them worth while. All my fabric mounts, foot stools and bobbin lace floor stands are now made from American Red Oak which allows me to buy oak in large quantities at a half decent price and still produce a quality product. Trusting you will enjoy your cabinet and Merry Christmas! Fred http://www.stitchaway.com If you are on thin ice you might as well dance! W.I.P. - "Fiddler on the Roof".
