Here is a link to her yahoo group.
I rarely go there myself but you should be able to find any answer there Marilyn's designs. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MarilynsGarden/ BTW the last time I checked there was no moderator here. Feel free as everyone else is to ask a question or post info here about anything needlework related. As you have already seen any mention of Marilyn tends to bring out the worst in at least one frequent poster here. Best advice enjoy the helpful posts ignore the rest. There is no reason anyone should confine their posts about any designer/needlework to a group elsewhere. Since I am a fan of sorts, I would like to visit the yahoo group. I did a search for it, but I don't know what it is called. Does anybody know? -- Happy Stitching! Kathy :-) |

in at least one frequent poster here. Best advice enjoy the helpful posts ignore the rest. There is no reason anyone should confine their posts about any designer/needlework to a group elsewhere. The worst? Really? Today's discussion has been polite disagreement for the most part. I even, very helpfully, was the first to give Rhea the link to Marilyn's Group, hardly "the worst" behavior. The new design was discussed, both by those who liked it and those who didn't. That is what is supposed to happen here, isn't it? Discussions of stitching and stash, both pros and cons?

Yes, but now she's gone and it's over. Why not just let it go?
So this means when any new design from anybody comes out we shouldn't say if we like it or not? That's pretty much what happened. Some people said they liked it, some said they didn't.

And Nan has some "misses" in terms of the things I like, but I still run eagerly to her site for pictures whenever I hear of a new one.

Why say if you don't like it? Everybody has different tastes, but why not let those who are pleased with it bask in their enjoyment for a while? Besides, it doesn't seem to me that everyone rushes to say if they like or don't like every new design that's posted about here. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone come out and immediately say that they didn't like something when a link was posted, unless it was one of MLI's and then I can predict who will post their dislike. That's pretty much what happened. Some people said they liked it, some said they didn't. I suppose. That's not my perspective on it, but that's ok.

I think people really have just let her go (MLI)- it seemed that if you
didn't drool and go on about her designs, you were suddenly an enemy - and she'd reply quite snottily to posts who didn't practically worship her, where as a designer, I would think she should've taken all the negative posts 'in' (like people saying 'same angel different dress' )... and actually do something different. The faces, to me, are getting uglier and uglier as time goes by ... maybe she should go back to her Butternut Roads and Told In a Garden type designs - I really loved those. I have done some of her L&L stuff but I thought at one time she was a wealth of ideas for all subjects - not any more. And no I will not be doing this angel - presently working on The Wizard from Kustom Krafts and next I think I'll do Slicker Parade - that's so cute. Just my two cents.

Now here is a wonderful example of different tastes The only TW's I have in my stash are her topiaries, the chart was actually a gift from a friend, and I love those designs. I don't feel TW is very good at faces, I don't care for fantasy designs, and I also feel TW overuses blended needles. I don't like all of MLI's designs, but I do love the Amish designs, the older angels(i.e. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter Angels, Angel of Mercy, and I love The Wedding). I feel MLI is extremely good at faces, and her use of colour is outstanding. I do agree some of her newer designs are repetitive, and those baby ones that came out a couple of years ago were awful, IMNSHO. take care, Linda On 21 Jun 2004 20:19:18 GMT, wd (Caryn) wrote: I feel this way about most TW's I have just about every fantasy related chart in my stash, plus several others.

Hmmm....shall we start critiquing each and every design that comes out? How would any of the designers on this group like it if we picked apart the designs they have laboured over for days, weeks, months, or possibly years? I guess I have a soft spot for MLI, she isn't perfect, but there is no doubt she has a whole lot of talent. take care, Linda On 22 Jun 2004 00:40:46 GMT, wd (Caryn) wrote: So this means when any new design from anybody comes out we shouldn't say if we like it or not?

Sorry... but I do have to speak up to disagree with that one. While she
does have some designs that I really like, they're relatively few in number... not that all the rest are bad, just not to my taste. Guess what. She knows that... or used to at least. She's even responded to posts of mine in the past (I think here as well, but it's been so long now I wouldn't swear to it) in which I've questioned something, but not praised whatever the rest of the topic was about. She hasn't even had a problem with folks commenting that they weren't wild about one of her designs or another on her group... as long as they're not rude and nasty about it, of course. People have differing interests and opionions. Heck, if they didn't, she wouldn't have ended up coming up with several different "lines" of designs. Yes, I know that some folks here may have differing opinions about her personally, as well as professionally. But it's unfair to say that she sees those who don't "drool and go on about her designs" as anything *like* an enemy. -Liz clancy wrote: I think people really have just let her go (MLI)- it seemed that if you didn't drool and go on about her designs, you were suddenly an enemy - and she'd reply quite snottily to posts who didn't practically worship her, where as a designer, I would think she should've taken all the negative posts 'in' (like people saying 'same angel different dress' )... and actually do something different.
