WOW! De ja vous! I loved working with crewel until the yarn became hard to find. Your work is beautiful.
Now you have me curious as to where in my house I have hidden all my patterns--sure hope I didn't pitch them in one of my cleaning flurries-- :-( :-( |

I found a very large hooked rug 3/4 done and been hooking on it lately and enjoying it. I think I will use the crewel stuff in quilts. I also found so much, I had no idea, of embroidery wool. Paternan? Lee wards, and others, all wool and in excellent condition. I keep all my craft supplies in the house. Stuff like fabric and yarn are in cabinets and chests not plastic. I think that kind of storage keeps them nice and they are air conditioned which also make a difference. I am so thankful for my large studio. Here is a tip on how to keep your threads nice. keep the thread in a cabinet free from dust and paticles etc. Dust is the ememy of the thread. Thread dries out too so now and then give then a sprits of water or silicone. |
Beautiful....I love the horse. They would look amazing in a quilt.
