It has been a little while now but.....
I really have been busy....honestly! I have been diligently stitching on Goldenwood. I finished another complete page. I also started a little Halloween thing but I was not really feeling it. I then went back to Goldenwood. I have not picked up Rocky Mountain Christmas, my table topper, Fortunate Traveller or Tulip Time. I am truly getting on with this Goldenwood project.
Of course I visit many message boards.....Stitch A Long on EZboards.....Legacy on EZboards....Aion on EZboards....... and 123 Stitch. People (Genie & Ina) have opened my eyes to yet another TWO designers. I now crave their work! I am talking about Ink Circles....They are simply glorious. In particular I love Cerque des Cercles and Garden Stars....(faint)! And drum roll please........ Jan Houtman! His are truly awe inspiring. Again, in particular, Friendship Sampler, Life Tree Sampler, Rose Sampler, Tulip Sampler, Initials 1991 Sampler and one that has not come out yet, 30 Years Embroidery Sampler! (Thud) I have to quit that. The bruises are getting harder to explain.
Did I tell you HAED has released even more Josephine Wall designs for cross stitch? I know many, many people love her art. Well, you should see the charts!
I am turning into a chart collector. I don't really want to do that. I want to get only the designs I actually plan to stitch. I must clear out some of my stash. I think I will make a stash album and have it hanging around my signature on the boards, that way if someone sees something they like, they can just ask. I am running out of room for all this stuff. I
have taken a turn toward samplers now. I must get about 10 to 20 Sampler Charts and then I will have enough to feel I have will not run out! LOL Once I get rid of the things I will not stitch (I must be brutally honest with myself) I will have room for more fabric and floss...not to mention the 20 Sampler Charts. LOL
Has anyone looked on the Told in a Garden website. She has a direct link to the stitching stand. Does anyone have one? How do you like it? About how much do they run?
Oh how I wish I was home stitching right now. First make some lunch...some nice soup and some iced tea.....then stitch, stitch, stitch. However, the need for pesky little things like food, heat and shelter get in the way.....one must work you know!
Does anyone do Crewel? I love the way it looks. How hard is it? It appears to be old fashioned embroidery.....satin stitch....stem stitch.....etc. How close is it?
Well, I think that is enough for right now.
