Donna has just gotten her copy of Trish Burr's latest book on needle painting. You can read the rave review here. The second link is to Trish's website in case you want to see some spectacular embroidery.

Carole Plus Michael Equals Fun UPDATED
I've been watching with interest the new partnership between Michael Boren and Carole Lake as StitchPlay Designs. They are starting to team teach some wonderful designs, especially for Shining Needle Society. How about Daphne Reborn?

Here's what they plan for Callaway.

Want to learn more about these two? I know from personal experience that Carole's the funniest person on earth and Michael's the nicest (plus, he's a fellow Threadaholic).

They are wildly talented, too. Here are their individual websites, followed by the StitchPlay site where you can see what they are up to as a team.

Don't forget to follow the link to the Essential Tremor Foundation to read more about Carole's and Michael's fundraising for the organization.

UPDATE: Vanessa just posted a photograph of her Carole Lake St. Basil's piece. Fabulous!

Removing Marks from Old Linens
I have no idea whether this works on everything or not, or whether it is safe, but this product that removes brown marks from linens is worth researching.

Thanks for the tip, Melita!
