Free Excel Thread Spreadsheets

Susan Thompson has created a series of thread spreadsheets in Excel which Linda K. Reinmuller posted on her website, adding other spreadsheets of her own devising. If you have Excel on your computer, you can download these and use them to keep a list of what you have in your stash of threads.  Many thanks, ladies!

The Kelly Clark Makeover

Kelly Clark has a new website!  It's set up totally differently than the old one, without a listing of available stitch guides, but with a link to her new blog.  You can see lots of Kelly's fabulous stitching on her designs here.  It's great fun to see all the eye candy and invention.

Fortunately, her old blog is still available.  Personally I hate blogs that are part of websites because I never know when they are updated.  For example, Kelly's new blog will not be posted in my Blog List because it doesn't notify the listing when it is updated.  You will have to bookmark it to visit whenever you remember (which I never do).  Here's Kelly's old blog, by the way.

Fortunately for folks who want to order some of Kelly's designs, her distributor Colonial Needle has her designs listed in their Kelly Clark catalogue.  There is no longer a separate page for stitch guides but any canvas that has a guide available is marked SG.

Things change, so shops who want to order Kelly's designs will need to visit Colonial Needle and folks who just want to drool over Kelly's stitched designs will visit her new site.  And for now fans have two blogs to enjoy!

Have fun exploring the new.
