Hiding Carry Threads on the Back Side
Labels:

tips
Tara's snowman canvas (and original design) is darling, isn't it? EDIT: Sorry, folks, Tara's taken down her snowman picture so I can't show it. But I can describe it. There was a square border inside of which was a cute snowman standing on piles of snow with a few flakes falling from the skies. The canvas background wasn't stitched. except for the white stars. How did she do the stars without the threads that run from each star to the next showing? She put a piece of blue mottled fabric behind the canvas and stitched the stars through both the fabric and the canvas. The next time you have a light coverage background and worry about the carry threads showing, think of this.

Lynda wins the Smart Cookie Award for March with her belt canvas which she had turned into three small dresser trays with the help of finishers at Pocket Full of Stitches. Cute!

Woodlawn Plantation Exhibit 2021 YODATED
The Woodlawn Plantation Needlework Exhibit will be held May 2-May 31, 2021. Many things have changed. Registration is online but you still have to drop off your exhibits. You can sell your piece on consignment. (Woodlawn takes a commission on the sale.). It appears that visitors have to buy a timed ticket online ahead of time. I think this means you are assigned a time to visit and you only have a set time to browse, but I could be wrong.
Here's an explanation of the registration process.
UPDATE: Here's how the drop off and registration is handled.
