Nimble Needle July Newsletter Available UPDATED

The Nimble Needle in Sandy Springs has posted their July newsletter for you to enjoy. Read about the new books in the shop, study the class lineup for the fall, and learn about their trunk shows.  My favorite part are all the postings of finished pieces by their customers.  Amazing stitching!

Twinkle and Facets

If you really aren't into dyeing your own threads, not to worry. There are lots of new threads available. Here Vicki shows us nice close up photos of Twinkle and Facets.

More photos of Twinkle are on the Gone Stitching website as they distribute this new thread.  I've not seen it myself so I can't tell you more about it but from the photos it reminds me of Silk Lame Braid except not silk and perhaps a bit thinner.

Dyeing for Threads

DMC just posted links to sites that have dyed their own threads. If you ever wanted thread colors that don't exist, this might be for you.
