Silk Chenille on View
Gloriana, the maker of that gorgeous overdyed silk we love to use (not to mention Lorikeet wool) has branched out into overdyed silk chenille. Wanna see?

What you see are lengths of the chenille with a skein of overdyed silk floss on top so you can compare the size of the chenille.

Looking Ahead to Columbus in June
Barbara Bergsten has posted a photograph of three of her cute shift designs, which she'll be offering at TNNA Columbus in June. Tell your shop owner to keep an eye open for these if you are as charmed as I am.

Barbara also is sending off her new color block design to the finisher. After all, shops like to see both the bare canvases and what they can look like after some magical needles are at work!

The Bargello Blouse Wall Hanging
Fans of bargello will want to watch as BargelloNeedlepoint.com uses the bargello elements on a blouse to create an original design and then stitch it as a wall hanging. Here are the articles on this project to date. I'll update this article as more are added.
