This little bit of back story about Kreinik's metallic threads has some great history, interesting tips on stitching with them and plenty of links to more information on the Kreinik website.

We owe the Kreinik family a big debt of gratitude!

Thunderstruck UPDATED
Labels:

Nimble Needle
Nimble Needle in New Jersey just posted a bunch of happy designs on their blog. I was thunderstruck {!!!} to realize that the Maggie "Chalk Board Bird" was just that--a drawing on a chalkboard!

UPDATE: The above article was removed from the Nimble Needle blog but I managed to find a photo elsewhere. Still am amazed that this is a chalkboard drawing. It is so obvious when you look with new eyes.

Isn't it fun when we suddenly see a new canvas a new way? Thanks, Karen!
