Stardust Charts
Stardust has some beautiful designs. I really like their new "Smoky
Mountain Christmas," which shows Santa with a sleigh pulled by two black bears. Santa wears a coat made from a log-cabin quilt. http://www.vades.com/Images/Hdc/04-1812.jpg Does anyone know what Stardust charts look like? Are they color or B and W? Lots of half stitches? Backstitching? Mistakes??? Monique in TX |

I will be looking forward to hearing from someone who has stitched a Stardust chart. There are a lot of speciality threads, and the ones I checked out were stitched on linen so it sounds like a quality item. Boo BRBR |

Stardust charts are created by Linda Kotila and Margaret Cogdill here in the
mountains of North Carolina (Linda is an artist - Margaret is the fibre guru who also owns a stitching shop called Corner Yarn Shop in Dillsboro, NC). They are WONDERFUL charts! They are printed in black and white, with clear symbols, lots of specialty threads, fair amount of backstitching, and a few partial stitches. They are very high quality charts -- and the results are beautiful! There was a great article about them in Just Cross Stitch a few years ago with a a beautiful free chart. I think you'll be VERY pleased! linda "Boohoo1971" wrote in message ... Stardust has some beautiful designs.

I THOUGHT I recognised them. I visited that shop about 18 months back, and
loved their work!! In fact I bought one of the charts; juast wonder where I put it! LOL. Thanks for the information, Linda. I have friends who are starting up a deluxe type of RV Resort just down the road in Franklin; they hope to open the first phase this summer. Gillian "linda f." wrote in message ...

I have "Christmas Dinner" and the chart is black & white. There are is a
fair amount of backstitching, quarter/half/three-quarter stitches but not as much as a Teresa Wentzler pattern for want of a comparison. There are a tonne of specialty threads but I think it will be spectacular once stitched up. I'm starting this piece next month with a bunch of friends who have all recently discovered that we all own the same pattern but have never started it. Just pricing out the specialty threads I come to about $68US which is about average, I guess, when compared to a Victoria Sampler pattern. I'm all for specialty threads so I won't be converting anything to DMC but one lady in our group is going to do just that. Looking at the pile of colours - it will still be a beautiful piece.
