Fun with Jane (and Kelly Clark)

Jane's been busy visiting folks at ANG's Seminar, including a lunch with Kelly Clark and her crazy quilt piece.  If you are in San Antonio, watch for Jane at the tour bus to Austin's Needle Works!

Wonderful New Things

I've collected a lot of random links this week, but all of them are about new things.  Needle Works shows off colors of the new skinny size of Silk Lame Braid,  as well as canvas of the month models and new firecracker ornaments that'll be for sale during ANG's Seminar.

I've just heard about a new metallic available in Europe and Australia called butterfly thread.  Look under Au Papillon for the link to a color card.

And finally Vicky has found cute snap trays that hold your tools when you work, then are easy to unsnap to store them flat until needed again.
