I just noticed that Gay Ann Rogers' bullions booklet is for sale on her website. This 18 page publication is full of information and diagrams about stitching bullion knots. She uses a lot of bullions in her designs so this booklet is intended to help her students. I am not sure how long this will be available so if you are interested, act now.

Magnetic Genius UPDATED

Robin King is a genius! She's come up with the perfect way to display all those needle magnets I love to collect. Right now the ones not holding various needles on my current canvases live stuck together in my stitching drawer. Robin has a much better way to store and organize them.

Last week I got a nice email from Lisa at Accoutrement Designs, the makers of those fun Mag Friend needle magnets, too many of which live on my canvases. Lisa's offered to send a magnet to CH so that I could give it away to Blog readers. You can see many of the Mag Friends on the Accoutrement Designs website but an even better place to explore is the Accoutrement blog (second link).

If you have received your Sept-Oct. Needlepoint News (I haven't-SOB!) there is an article about the company in this new issue.

Scroll down at the link below to see the new witch magnet, which is the one I have courtesy of Lisa to give away. She has a yellow face and purple hair, like all wicked witches. With Halloween stitching going full blast, she is going to be a perfect stitching companion.

I'll do a random drawing of folks who either post a Comment here or email me directly at chillyhollow at hotmaildotcom on October 1st so that the winner has Miss Witch in plenty of time for Halloween.
UPDATE: Miss Witch has arrived at her new home.

Ever Heard of Balger Braid?

The whole time I've been buying threads I've found Balger Braid here and there in shops, in the same spools that Kreinik uses. I thought Balger was an early type of Kreinik metallic. Turns out I was sort of right. Here's the whole story, straight from Doug Kreinik, with an easy to remember way to know how to pronounce "Kreinik" to boot!

Since we are talking Kreinik, I thought you'd like to see the storage system Tisha worked out for her smaller Kreinik spools.
