Last week I posted the first of my Crystal Waters posts showcasing my new spring collection of colours. If you recall, the ladies who stitch up my samples chose one pattern. I requested each stitcher use the same colour combination but placed in different locations in the design. By doing this it really shows how…
In celebration of the day, why not talk about Valentine Hearts. In specific embroidery thread colours to stitch some hearts! RED Did you know, red is associated with strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire and love. It is an emotionally intense colour. I love red. PINK If you have been reading my blog…

I always look forward to seeing how they choose to combine colours. Just…

The project was offered over a six month time frame. The entire pattern is available for purchase from Needlepoint Now. I have mentioned Dominique several times. She…
Today is more about embroidery thread storage. Specifically, my ideas on embroidery thread storage. If you use floss, then you are familiar with the small floss keys that DMC offers. While they work well for floss, they are small for any other types of threads. For a long time I didn’t realize floss keys were…
