Oh dang it, now I have to go look.....Elle...you are a bad influence, do you hear me?????? BAD influence!!! LOL! Going to look now...
Elle, its a good thing that I would have had to get up and walk to the kitchen to get my CC out of my purse.! (They changed my # and I haven't memorized it...yet>>>) That site has some amazingly beautiful threads and also some really cute cat/dog patterns (for my swaps). I'm going to link it on the swap opening page for the patterns. I'll have to order some of that fine kimono silk thread for applique, it looks gorgeous!
Oh and Lesley, they have some beautiful batick scrap bags....sold out right now, but I'm sure they'll make up more. :wink:

I used to do a lot of cross stitch, and hated it so much that I left it out wherever I didn't think it would make much difference to the finished piece. It was always getting tangled or breaking even when the threads it was paired with were behaving nicely. I tried silicone and all sorts of "thread conditioner" on it and it still wouldn't behave. I will never touch the stuff again!

Lesley - I have to ask if you know any Sheridans up there? My dear dear friend 'Uncle Father John V. Sheridan' just passed here a few months ago. I could swear he said his family came from area where Yeats was - I know he was a terrific Yeats fan as was Mary Campbell. Names sound familiar??
btw - I see many of you referring by 1st name - mine's Monica

Hit another wall with my DGD's quilt. I was going to use my Janome 11000 to machine embroider the blocks but the quilt is so big the fabric keeps popping out of the frame. I have the top row embroidered but I think I am going to have to use my walking foot and do quilting on the middle rows. Maybe I can machine embroider the bottom row to tie it together. Her birthday was March 1 and I'll be lucky to finish this by March 31. I just broke a machine needle so I decided to get a cup of tea and check out the board.

When I finally finish my DGD's quilt I have a quilt for my youngest grandson to make and THEN I am going to get serious about AOTH. I am dying to JTG on AOTH but I hate to have UFO's in my sewing room.

Linda, thanks for the encouragement. I am wrestlig with going in and reading or going back to tackle the monster one more time. The cup of tea helps but chatting with all of my quilt friends give me encouragement not to quit.
