JL Walsh Alert

While wandering around the Internet this morning, I discovered a stash of the discontinued JL Walsh silk/wool blend over at Come to the Point.  This is a wonderful thin wool-silk mix in glorious colors which is sadly no longer available.  If you are a fan, the shop has a few colors left.

They also have some wonderful sales on other threads that they are discontinuing from the shop.  Have fun looking at the bargains!

Finishing Friday (with Stardust)

Today's Finishing Friday!  Enjoy Ada Hayden's finished pieces, from Christmas trees that are happy and a jolly round pumpkin standup to a darling purse.

Pocket Full of Stitches has photos of the 3-D design models from the dede Odgen trunk show they are hosting. There are houses, a chair and a bear, but the fishing frog is outstanding.

Nimble Needle has brought gorgeous pillows and charming little ornaments to the party.  By the way, I agree with her about Stardust.  It's a fabulous thread but comes in limited colors, sadly.

Stardust is from Brown Paper Packages, the geniuses behind Silk and Ivory, and Trio.  It's not mentioned on their website but I did find a list of the available colors.  Basically, the thread is Silk and Ivory with a metallic woven in.  It is gorgeous stuff.  The metallic colors vary according to the color of the base thread.  In other words, it isn't just a gold or silver.

The four original colors in Stardust are shown here.  LOVELY!
