time for "what are you stitching"
Not what I should be working on and will get back to on Monday - a round
robin for a group I'm involved with on FB. All I need to do is the backstitching - but there is LOTS of back stitch on this My purse project is nearly done and I've pulled out the next one - a Textile Heritage bookmark that I have started. I'm hoping to get lots of stuff done while I'm missing DD - she's headed off to two weeks of sleep-away hockey camp. --- Time to go move the hose again. I have new grass in a few areas and it needs daily water. Cheryl |

time for "what are you stitching"
I haven't been on this list since about 1998. I can't even remember
whether my last post was after I moved to Seattle. But I have finally started needlepointing again, picking up my William Morris pillow (don't know which design at the moment) as charted by Beth Russell. I'm about 1/4 done. It was to be a graduation gift and I hope I can finish it before it becomes a retirement gift. I am using a Meetup group to provide scheduling and motivation. Hey DC-MD-VA Tangle, I miss you!

It's done with #4 metallic braids and working up quickly. http://www.stitchers-paradise.com/Ca...%20(Small).jpg Mavia |

The challenge was to design a piece around a needle minder and use 3 threads you haven't used before. I cannot say what mine is till after next week, but it's on white congress cloth and I need to do a fair bit of skip tent stitching before I get to play with DMC's Memory Thread which I haven't used yet.

I JUST finished a Pine Mountain Pillow kit..for a craft fair/ auction we are having here in the fall as a fundraiser. I figure this could go in a house, or an RV..so hopefully everyone would be happy. http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/it....pl?item=PM460 Could you give me your opinion. Do you usually put some iron-in interfacing, pellon or whatever on the back of the stitched area when you make these?. Maybe tomorrow I will spend an hour, and finish the black backstitching on my Blue Heron from RK Portfolio. Gill |

Maybe tomorrow I will spend an hour, and finish the black backstitching on my Blue Heron from RK Portfolio. Gill I wouldn't use iron on stuff on the back of the stitched portion...I'd stitch the whole thing around the outer edge to a piece of plain fabric, like canvas (if you want something weighty/stiff) or muslin (which isn't heavy/stiff). This would reinforce it and help keep the shape...stuff between the muslin/canvas/whatever lining and the back (which I might also line, depending on the weight of the fabric. This just makes it smoother/slightly weightier. sue -- Susan Hartman |
