Road Trip TO NN of LJ

Lorraine, the thread genius behind Colour Complements's line of hand dyed threads, has been on the road taking a Laura Taylor canvas embellishment class at Needlenook of La Jolla. First up, photographs taken inside the thread store.   Lorraine explains this is a small sample of the 130 thread lines NN of LJ carries.  (Threadaholics everywhere just passed out from joy.)

Now, photos of the painted canvas embellishment class Laura taught.

By the way, here is Lorraine's website in case you need some unique colors or thread types.

Glad you got to go, Lorraine and really glad you reported back!

Therese de Dilimont and DMC

I don't know if you've run across old embroidery texts by Therese de Dilimont before but I have. Now DMC reveals a bit about the lady behind the writings, many of which were created for DMC.
