Ridgewood has put us all on notice that Zecca's key fobs and threaders are no longer being made, so if you want one, let Ridgewood know right away.

Kelly's Stumpwork Koi UPDATED

Kelly Clark shows how to make a dimensional goldfish on her blog.  It is a lot easier than I'd imagined!

I think maybe we can give Kelly the Genius Award for this week, don't you?

UPDATE:  Kelly finished her stumpwork sampler.  Here's how it turned out.

By the way, there is a smaller stumpwork sampler that Kelly worked and sold with a stitch guide to help you create it on your own.   It uses some of the same elements of the larger sampler.

More Kreinik Videos from TNNA

Kreinik made quite a few short videos at the Baltimore TNNA show.  This one shows off the key fob kits from Voila.

One of the Christmas Reflections ornaments you just saw used Kreinik's new holographic threads.  Here you see a very short video of an Elizabeth Turner design being stitched by M's Canvashouse using the same holographic threads.
