Anyone who likes to make twisted cords for their pillows and ornaments will enjoy exploring the Japanese braid website. This technique of braiding cords using stands or pillows is called Kumihimo, and like so many other needle and textile techniques, the Japanese have raised it to a fine art. The links on the left side of the page are to articles and the thumbnail photos show off what you can create using Kumihimo. Once you start exploring, there are many more links to resources and supplies.

That One Is Mine and This One is Yours

I never go anywhere that isn't the grocery, post office, or drug store, but if you go to classes (or if you just like a color-coodinated stitching corner) you may need customized trays and frame weights that are perfect for travel and easy to tell from your stitching neighbor's stuff in class. Ruth Schmuff has you covered, and in just your style.
