New Scissors and New Thread Color

Mary Corbet has managed to get her hands on the new Dovo scissors in the style called Anne.

Dovo scissors were discontinued but the company has started to make them again.  Mary thinks she'll be able to get them fairly regularly now but don't dawdle if you want a pair.  Whoops!  Sold out already.  Ask to be on her wait list for the next shipment.

Mary also got a shipment of the Au Ver a Soie metallics in shades of purple, which are new--and beautiful!  You can pick up sets of various colors in her shop.  Right now Mary carries mostly size 8 (yes, just the same as Kreinik's size 8) although she does have a gold in size 4.

Stephanie Is Dancing with Stitches Each New Stitch Monday

Stephanie at Ridgewood Stitchery has started a new project, Ellen Skidmore's "Dance."  This is a discontinued canvas from the Meredith Collection.  Stephanie's first stitch is for the dress.  She choose an open stitch but filled in the open spot as she's not a light coverage stitcher.

Next she tackles the background grass and found a nice stitch for it, topped with some grass sprigs.

Stephanie tackled a lot of small areas on the design--the skin of the dancer, the "piano keys" border of the skirt, and the dancing shoes.

The final section was the border.
