Floche Trunk Show

I don't usually point out trunk shows any more (I don't want to train Blog readers to just go for the cheapest price, not when there are so many great shops we need to support who can't afford big discount trunk shows) but I'm making an exception for The Needlepointer's trunk show of DMC's floche. There are a lot of fans of this thread but it can be hard to find, particularly all 196 colors.  The shop has ever color DMC has at a slight discount right now.

What is floche?  Mary Corbet is a BIG fan so she tells all in this article.  Don't miss the links at the bottom of the article to learn more or to see floche in action.

Finishing Rollups the SuDu Way UPDATED

Sue D. has started finishing a bunch of rollup designs.

I think most of Sue's canvases are from ABS Designs, so here is the link to Anne Stradal's website so you can look at what rollup canvases are like, just in case you aren't familiar with them.  Just click on a header and explore.  UPDATE:  Sue says, "Jane, two of the roll-ups are Anne's the others were done by a local artist, Joan Lewis. She no longer is in business but if anyone wants to contact me I can see if she has any left. I will post the finished ones today."

Thanks for the correction, Sue!
