Wish list

What stitching design or accessory or tool or fiber or trip would you love to
have?

I'd love to attend Country Bumpkin's Beating Around the Bush or have a Beryl
Cook (http://www.berylcook.org) work translated to canvas or surface
embroidery, complete with stitch guide (limited tent or satin stitches).

Stitching accessory - how about a room for myself with my stuff and only my
stuff in it.


Barring that - I want to have one of those gorgeous work boxes with needle
book, scissors, fobs.....

all the millions of holes he has made in the walls for cables etc...then
paint it a pale yellow with white trip..then it is mine ALL mine!! I can
put my stitching on the walls. The stash in there, my desk, file cabinet
etc!

What I'd really love to have is a needlework blocking frame of the type
invented by textile conservator Maury Bynam.

He published an article in the March/April 1995 issue of Piecework
magazine about the device he developed for blocking antique needlework;
from the description, it would be ideal for straightening canvaswork.

He had applied for a patent and was apparently planning to market the
device to frame shops and needlepoint shops, but I've never heard more
about it.

A magic closet, one which would supply me with endless fibers and fabrics,
and would magically have any supply I needed late at night when I run out of
thread and I've only got 5 stitches to go in order to finish. But that's my
fantasy list.

On my reality list....hmmm. I am pretty much set design-wise, except for
the elephant pattern from Golden Kite I just brought up in another thread.
My stimulus check just arrived today, however, so I will be reinvesting in
our economy by purchasing it. The only other designs I don't have and
would love to are reproductions of Wm. Bouguereau paintings. Golden Kite
also has a ton of them for sale, but not a copy of my favorite painting of
his, "Temptation". Actually, I've never seen any website that does
reproductions that has done this one, so if anyone knows of a site that
does, please clue me in.

I have pretty much any accessory or tool. I'm a little self-indulgent that
way. I don't have a laying tool, however.

Trips? I used to make the annual pilgrimage to SOCS, or CATS, or HOCS, or
whatever they were calling it that year to Des Moines, but as far as I know
there haven't been any shows there for the past few years. Last time I
went, it was not worth the gas money and time. The shows used to be so
good. I would save up all year just to spend it there. The last few times
I went, I would hardly spend anything. There just wasn't much choice,
nothing new, no out-of-print patterns to stumble upon to add to my
collection. Whenever I take a roadtrip, I like to try and stop at at least
one LNS along the way, or if I'm in a new city, I take a day to hit them
all. It isn't fun to do though when you're hauling someone around that
isn't a fellow stitcher. I think it would be fun to take a little group on
an LNS roadtrip.

My dream trip would be to visit all my rctn friends! Those that would
have me, anyway. This would include a trip to Australia to see
Trish and .... drat! can't remember the name of the person on the
other side of Oz... and New Zealand to see Aramanth; to South Africa
to see Joyce and Catherine; to Israel to see Mirjam; and Italy and
Scandinavia and and and....

No, but I'll come along - you fly into KC or St. Louis and we'll go
from there. . .

..I would like to find a lap frame that I actually can use! I don't
like scroll bars - not enough tension for me - and I haven't found
anything yet that holds a hoop and is usuable.

Stop in NYC before you leave and I'll glady join up for this too! And
loads of criss-crossing the world flights so we have plenty of time
for stitching!

So what we really need to do is pick a cruise ship and all meet for a
cruise.


Yah!
