Comes With... UPDATED

Pocket Full of Stitches is highlighting products that come with various items: rhinestones and frames specifically.   Amanda Lawford sends rhinestones with her little eggs while Cheryl Schaeffer has frames that are prefect for her collage canvases.

Gosh, that pink leather iPad case is gorgeous!  If only I had an iPad....

UPDATE:   Sorry, folks!  The link above is wrong.  Here's the correct one.  Many thanks to all who pointed this out to me and apologies to everyone for just getting this corrected. I was offline all yesterday due to the upgrade of my computer.  Took me forever to download the new software and get it updated and all the preferences reset to what they were before the new software overrode my changes back to the default settings.

Comparing the Lowery to the System Four

Floor stands cost as much as one of those big, expensive needlepoint canvases (before you add in the cost of the threads) so folks are always asking which is best. Sadly, the answer is It Depends. It depends on whether you travel, the place you prefer stitching in, what size project you stitch most, things like that. Personal things!   But Kelly does take some of the mystery out of choosing between the Lowery and the System Four stand by showing both on her blog.  Put yourself mentally in her stitching chairs and you'll know better which will suit your stitching style and location.

It's still better to borrow one of these and try it out but many of us don't have a stitching friend we can borrow from, so I really appreciate Kelly's help.

I have a K's metal stand, by the way, and I love it!
