I love those button daisies. Maybe this is what I can do while I'm a lounge chair potato with this asthma attack and chomping at the bit because I can't walk or garden. What is the fusible interfacing you use? I have the fabric from Debra and floss and needlepoint yarns but no interfacing, and I'm not able to go shopping. I wonder if Denise has something I could use at the Creative Cloth Closet in Canon City.Granny Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537734608666526171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-14294840225648834052007-06-16T19:40:00.000-07:002007-06-16T19:40:00.000-07:00Excellent idea to show the actual stitching as opp...Excellent idea to show the actual stitching as opposed to just drawings.

That is exciting - However, I am already a bit more advanced from studying your work so closely. heeheehee. I show needlepoint stitches that way - right on the canvas, enlarged on my photocopy machine. Looks better than my crummy drawings. French knots seem to dress up an area - kind of loose and flowery effect. I use them when I can't think of anything else to fill in the gaps.Possibilities, Etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00301188397987608400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-69299232685231160842007-06-16T06:10:00.000-07:002007-06-16T06:10:00.000-07:00I think you should include French Knot in the inst...I think you should include French Knot in the instructions along with the Stem Stitch, which I find in even the simplest embroidery kits when I look at them. With those 2 stitches and the straight stitch, an embroiderer can go a long way.<BR/><BR/>It's kind of nice to return to the roots of what we do every now and then to look at it with fresh eyes. I am enjoying this process quite a bit!Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-68548669901624266602007-06-16T02:04:00.000-07:002007-06-16T02:04:00.000-07:00I'm right there with Susan about the shop!

I'm really slow at the moment, but partly because I like to think through umpteen colour combinations before I start, and then change my mind : )Threadspiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780634324037593398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-6011671101441346152007-06-15T21:51:00.000-07:002007-06-15T21:51:00.000-07:00The block looks really cute!

You get the etsy going, and I guarantee to stop by once a month to buy a pack. I have no trouble putting colors or fabrics together, but sometimes it's fun to work with someone else's palette.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.com
