Friday Finishing the Fulkerson Way

This morning I have some wonderful stand ups for Christmas and Halloween from Cheryl Fulkerson. They were done for Nimble Needle's customers.

If you are charmed, you will want to pour a cup of your favorite beverage and visit the Cheryl's Needlework Finishing website.  It looks pretty barebones when you arrive at the home page but click on something and the delights will start to unfold like one of those dried paper flowers you drop in a glass of water.  Start clicking and all sorts of wonderful items will bloom!

Organization

Yesterday we toured DMC's factory and peeked into their archives. Today I have links to several DMC customers' organizational schemes. We are always looking for ideas on how to keep our threads neat and tidy, so I hope you find this article interesting.

"A Walk Down Memory Lane"

Thanks to the Needlework Retailer's mention on Facebook, I know the 18th annual juried needlework exhibit sponsored by Stitching Pretty is happening at Montpelier Mansion until December 1.  I hope if you are in the Baltimore area you get to go!

The Nimble Needle Speaks From Atlanta

The Nimble Needle's latest newsletter is available for a fun read over your morning beverage today.  They show off new threads and scissors fobs, brag about the Robin King class from a few weeks ago, and show off a new stitch diagram for your stitching pleasure.  They also talk about two new clubs and showcase some wonderful finished projects from their talented customers.  They are even having a finish your own class if you need an ornament made up fast for the holidays and want to learn how to do this yourself.  It is the next best thing to a visit for us stay-at-home types!

Touring DMC

This summer DMC had a contest, with first prize being a tour of their factory and archives in France. One of the winners has blogged about the experience.   DMC talks a bit about the trip on their blog, with links to the two part article about what the winners saw when they visited DMC.  It's fascinating to see all that she saw and imagine more.
