Some Stitching

It has definitely been a while since I actually provided

a stitching update. This past weekend our guild was

able to visit the home of a designer who is in the

process of moving and no longer designing.

She was selling items she didn't want to move and I have to

tell you the collection she had amassed was unbelieveable.

I picked up several out of print books.

and I believe the entire collection she had of Fine Lines Magazine.

These are extremely hard to find and when you do find them on

ebay they can go for quite a bit. I kept debating and then

I finally just took the plunge.

I am in search of a slate frame and trestle.

I hear they are wonderful for stitiching projects on,

but in the US extremely hard to find.

I am trying to convince my husband to make them for me.

In the meantime I have ordered a set of evertite stretcher bars.

I have put them together and I am getting ready to tack

down my fabric. I just need to pick up the correct tacks to use.

I am still debating if I want to use the evertite frame for

my next project of persuade my husband on the slate frame...
