Latest Paternayan News

The latest Paternayan news comes via Needle Nicely, which just placed an order for the new Paternayan.  Briefly, there are around thirty colors to start, delivery of the order is expected in mid-February, and it will cost more than the old version of Paternayan.  I'm pretty sure the three plies will be all roughly the same dimension instead of the old "father, mother, baby" sizes which are useful in plying to fit a certain canvas size, but are very expensive to create.

Here are my earlier messages about Paternayan and the plans of the company that purchased the rights and the buildings and stock.  The official introduction of the new Paternayan is planned for the TNNA Winter 2013 show in late January-early February.  Shops who haven't ordered yet can do so at the trade show.

The House I Built

Ok, **I** didn't build a house, Orna Willis did. Her newest design, available from her website in kit form or just the chart book, is called "The House I Built."  As usual for Orna, her flair for color and pattern is on full display.  There's a link in the following article to her site to purchase "The House" but I am adding the direct URL below, just in case the link in the article doesn't work.
