A Glimpse of the New

Patt and Lee Belt

Janet Perry has written a posting about new threads, charts and painted canvases which are being released.  Sadly, there are no photos for us visual people.

More Christmas Belt

Plus several designers have posted photos of their new painted canvases.  Want to see the new belts from Patt and Lee?  Scroll through the last few blog entries on their blog.  Check out the Christmas belt.  It has a LOT of possibilities!  I  like it so much I've posted a series of photos of different parts of the belt throughout this article.

Squiggee is going to put their new things on their website as they are created.  This is very good news for shops who can't make the trade shows.  Easy ordering from the Temptress of Painted Canvases....

Here are the new colors from Cottage Garden Threads.  All those photos are going to be very helpful for those trying to pick new colors for a project.

BREAKING NEWS: Society of Soie Surfine

And in the spirit of my last post, here is the announcement for the Society of Soie Surfine, which is a group of shops selling hand dyed Gloriana very fine silk perle thread and linens for extra small over one designs.  I know a lot of us are enthralled with counted thread and sampler designs.  Hopefully some of you will be interested.

The Society has a blog, also, which is full of lovely photos of the threads they are dyeing.

As a lover of fine count NP canvas and silk gauze, not to mention silk threads, I wish the Society great success!
