Jen is in Dorset in the UK so they may take a little time to arrive, but they are so pretty, I wouldn't mind waiting.

Goldwork Padding Techniques

Because Fiber Talk is interviewing Jen Goodwin this week (second link below), I looked at her YouTube channel.  I found this interesting video of goldwork padding techniques which can be used when padding needlepoint canvases with string or felt.

Here is the Fiber Talk interview with Jen who is well known for her goldwork and blackwork designs.

Easy Silk Skein Prep

Thanks to the Silk Mill, I have a video for you to watch this morning. It shows Jen Goodwin of the Royal School of Needlework, getting a skein of Silk Mill's silks ready to stitch from.

If you want to browse the Silk Mill's gorgeous colors, here is their website.  "700 shades of silk"--bliss!  (They sell needlepoint kits, tools and vintage patterns, too.)  The shop is in England but the silk is from China.
