Just in case you've been trying to reach them, a snowfall took out their power and phone lines last Wednesday and the phones are still not up and working again. Their Internet access is spotty, too. Let's wish them a quick return to normalcy.

Destination Dallas
Just when you thought you were over the excitement of the TNNA show in Phoenix last January, Destination Dallas is about to happen!
http://mostlyneedlepoint.com/03/23/getting-ready-for-my-almost-soldout-class-at-dallas/
It starts the last day of March with classes, then the shopping begins April 1-2. This is a wholesale market only, but tell your shop owners what to look for.

By the way, some designers are already posting photos of new designs for Dallas. Here's the Pajamas and Chocolate hand painted line from Patt and Lee Designs.

Kelly Clark makes basketweaving a dimensional piece look easy in this blog posting. The canvas is from her Thanksgiving series that she is teaching via Needle Works in Austin and is a taste of what Kelly teaches in her Amy Bunger video on needleweaving (second link).

Twisting Flat Silk
I should have subtitled this Neat Japanese Embroidery techniques! Mary Corbet has two new videos up on her website. One shows how to twist flat silk for Japanese Embroidery and the other shows how to frame up fabric for Japanese Embroidery.
http://www.needlenthread.com/2012/03/twisting-flat-silk-video-tutorial.html
Japanese flat silk is dyed long filament silk. It comes on long cardboard tubes (Mary's got photos and links to more info about flat silk) and you can stitch with it as it comes off the tube. I have done so for geisha hair and it works beautifully! I've always wondered how flat silk is twisted for Japanese Embroidery myself. I have books that show the technique but they lack much detail, so I am going to watch these videos over and over, both to satisfy my curiosity and perhaps master a technique to use at a later date....
