I've been eagerly awaiting reports on the new ribbons that Barbara Elmore and Sundance released at the Winter Market. And here it is--from Barbara herself! They are called Stitchy and Glitzy Ribbons. Barbara even has included a brief tutorial on how to use these on needlepoint canvas. That bluebird is to die for!

Sundance has also introduced a smaller diameter Sparkles, the tubular mesh that is perfect for special effects. It's called Mini Sparkles. Here is a video about Sparkles, the regular size, but the smaller size is used the same way.

New Classes and New Threads
Terry Dryden just finished her newest design, "Autumn Arrows." It is beautiful! Terry choose Treenway Natural Dye Threads, which accounts for the lovely colors.

Treenway Silks is a small company that started out in British Colombia before moving to Colorado, which is why the threads aren't common in the shops. I have a skein in my stash that is just beautiful that I'm saving for a special project. The threads make a design (see below), as we all know, so do take a little browse at the Treenway site to see if there's something there that is perfect for that project you've been wanting to start.

Here's proof that threads make a project. Nimble Needle did photographs of threads as they pulled them for various canvases they sell. Doesn't seeing the supplies with the canvas make your mouth water?!
