TNNA Columbus is Over UPDATED

The shops and designers and tool manufacturers are all leaving Columbus now, heading home.    I hope this means that there will be new eye candy for us to see on their websites soon.

Pocket Full of Stitches pointed out there are new items up on the Kathy Schenkel Designs website.

Some of Associated Talents' very popular Seaside ornament and mini sock series is available for viewing on their website.  Sadly, the charming stitched models aren't pictured yet.

Painted Pony Designs has added five new angel canvas photos and several new dress form canvases to their Facebook page.  Search for Paintedponydesigns Debbiewoodard to see them.

Bijoux Glints

I've managed to get my hands on the new white core Bijoux thread line which is called Glints.  That's what you see in the photo above.  There are four colors, from left to right :  gold (White Gold 423), a lighter gold (Bronze 422), silver (Silver 441) and white (Diamond 491).  The white has a slight ivory cast to the white in the spool.  Here are the traditional black core colors in case you'd like to compare them.  Whether "white core" or "black core" this is a strong, thin metallic thread.

Clouds and Stitching and Barbara

Stitching skies and clouds can be difficult to do without making your canvas top heavy. I think Barbara Elmore and her friends have mastered this, however.
