What is the one project you would love to do if you have the time/
skill/money to do?
I love several of the Chatelaine designs and I saw a calla lily in the
past couple of days that has me thinking to adapt it to surface work,
if I only had the time!

The Victoria Sampler has a couple of beautiful Christmas designs, and
a Harbour village that I love. Those three are on my someday list. But
it's not as though I don't have a fairly extensive stash already :)

In the unlikely event that time and space were to materialize
in my life, I'd probably be keen to work on some projects of my
own. Not likely to happen anytime soon ;-)

I do have a Chatelaine design or two that I'd love to
do. I'll be doing another Columbine Designs Proposal Pillow
for a wedding next year, though it will take some tweaking as
some of the fibers are no longer available. Fortunately, I'm
not too worried about substituting as it's a riot of colors
anyway, but there's one color of the NN overdyed Rachel that
I wish I could still find. It was particularly lovely in the
piece, and it wouldn't be all that fun to try to recreate the
effect with multiple colors of solid Rachel. And I'm not really
in the mood to try to overdye it myself ;-)
Best wishes,
Ericka

Have you contacted Threadworx to see if they are doing it?

So far they don't show any Rachel at all on their
website. I haven't contacted them to see if they plan to
start.

Good question - off the top of my head, one of the Mandela Gardens. There
are too many others to list - and I just know I'll get to them..... This one
is just time & priority.
For the skill azqquisition & time - a serious piece of goldwork, along the
lines of the Tanya Berlin Harebell, or Honeysuckle. It'll happen -
eventually.

Talk to me after I finish Twister.

Is the Calla Lily the Merrey Designs one? Sara Leigh (shop owner where I
manage, so to speak) had it up during the on-line show, and it's been
selling a bit, plus won some ribbons at a couple of recent shows.

Hey - c'mon down. We have someone teaching stumpwork - this summer, and
she'll continue again in the fall, I'm sure - also combined with ribbon
embroidery in August. And, I think I'm doing a Drawn Thread class in August
- it's a very sweet little sampler from a book on Intro to Drawn Thread .

Ah, good choices. Tony was just here last month and taught a project for
local ANG chapters . It's really nice. And he's always got great tips.

We're carrying the Threadworx. The cotton is lovely. I'm planning to talk
with them at Columbus (TNNA), and will find out what's up. I do really want
the dyed metallic, as well - it was gorgeous in the NN version. I know
they've told us they'll be doing some more of the different threads, but are
working through slowly into the expansion. They've already added a few
colors into the basic floss line.

That's the one. Gorgeous design, but I really want to do it in
surface work - great long and short practice and good way to learn to
control color. Email me off list - how much is the chart? I may want
to get it for a guide!

If it's 210 Blue Mystique I have some.
Interesting effect, but nasty stuff.

99% of the supplies but not kitted and certainly not started until I have a
real place that my stitching can stay put and not need to be put away.

I'll e-mail you off list. But, to let you know - she did the piece over 1.
She just released a new design, a Lily, which at least is over 2. The Calla
Lily hangs at the base of the stairs when you come in the shop. It's a big,
multi page chart.

No, I forget the name/number off the top of my head,
but it's a dark pink/purpleish mix.
> Interesting effect, but nasty stuff.
Really? It didn't fight back much for me, but maybe
it was just that I wasn't using it to do anything that it
didn't like doing ;-)

The chart runs 24 pages. Not that I was looking at for myself. Just
assisting someone else find her starting point.

How about having the body? I would go back in time to when my knees
were young and learn Japanese embroidery.

I would do the Marbek Nativity - on midnight blue fabric. If I had
the time and money to do it, it would mean that I would have a place
in the house where I could display it at Christmas time (and to store
it safely the rest of the year). :-)

Sorry, mine's light blue.
I just don't like the texture of stitching with a tiny nylon stocking
I think. Don't like wearing them either, FWIW. Hope you find the
color you're looking for.
