Wishlist

by admin, in category General

I am slowly producing a wishlist of designs, threads, fabrics, embellishments and accessories that I would love to have.  Sometimes I may remove something, because the shop is now starting to stock that particular items.  The things that I list here are listed because they do not fit in with the shop’s style.

LHN – Neighborhood

by admin, in category SAL

lhnneighborhood1.jpg, originally uploaded by Bette_h. Several weeks ago, I joined the LHN Neighborhood SAL. I have been meaning to post my fabric and thread choices, but kept forgetting. I have chosen to use the recommended DMC floss, but am using 32ct Heritage (I think) linen from Stitches and Spice.
