Threadaholic Alert: Silk Wrapped Purl

Ruth Schmuff at Bedecked and Beadazzled has silk wrapped purl sampler kits to order to play with.

You can see what Ruth did with her snippets if you check out the thistle tops in this class she taught--

Looks like a cheap way to add dimension to your butterflies, flowers, Halloween costumes, etc. on your next painted canvas.

Stitching Silken Sonata

Melita is going to stitch one of Jim Wurth's lovely counted pieces.  Besides eBay, this Palm Springs shop is the best place to find his charts.  "Silken Sonata" isn't listed as it was a Rainbow Gallery chart.  Your shop might be able to get it for you but it also might be discontinued now that Rainbow Gallery is owned by Fleur de Paris.  It isn't listed as one of their free charts on the Rainbow Gallery website.

Here is Melita's introduction.

Just for the record, I adore Coronet Braid.  It is stiff but has incredible shine.
