So - what are you stitching

If you ever do come across a resource for the kits, please, please share. I would love to attempt one.

Altho' I don't usually do kits, I couldn't resist this one - It's called Lofty Living by Bucilla (a bunch of birdhouses) ... It took me a good 1 1/2 days to match the floss to DMC before I could start it - I hate not knowing what floss I'm working with - and don't ya just love it when they say - lt. pale grey, lt. grey, pale grey, lightest pale grey, grey, medium grey blah de blah You'd think it was a crime to tell us what floss they're using so we could convert to what we like to use. Oh well, no one yanked my arm to buy it, did they? :-)

Here a conversion chart that's right from Dimension's web site. I think they may even be using DMC thread in their kits.

Y'know, you're local enough, Sue, that you could do one of her classes. You could probably e-mail Betsy and find out when/where she's teaching and just c'mon down.....

Ruth's stuff is pretty available. We can give you the number of the local shops that carry a lot of her stuff. She has a freebie up on the Rainbow Gallery site. Ruth is local here now - and reps for Rainbow Gallery.

Amybear - she sells directly off her website IIRC.

Honestly, I believe that most of Betsy's teaching is for EGA chapters, or I think she's done some Sampler group things. Her work is beautiful.

That's encouraging, because I'm not sure I could afford one of her classes!

If she does Celebrations again, I think I'll take the class... Starting to save my shekels... C

Well, keep your eyes open.

But, I believe BM will be in Nashua this fall

Sue,

Our chapter doesn't have another class with her for a while. But if I see her pop up on another schedule, I'll post the info.

Betsy does not have a website...hold on. My brain just kicked into gear. I'll e-mail her and ask for her teaching schedule. That would be nice, wouldn't it?

Cheryl's correct. She has taught at Celebrations in NH.

And will be here in the fall. If wasn't the beginning of hockey season, I just might sign up for it... C

Cheryl - priorities, woman! Make DS who has car access and license do some driving of self and little sis. Take the opportunity for yourself.

I like seeing the games. Don't mind missing practices...

The peacock sounds wonderful, I'm looking forward to seeing a photo. I love the rayon floss.

I'm doing the "do not start another project till you finish large WIP!" process. This does not apply, of course, to my travel projects

- I have to have at least two ready to walk out the door :)

Current projects in rotation: Dimple Design's Rex Teresa Wrentzler's Mermaid Goldwork class project Kay Stanis class project Queen-sized quilt

Projects not in rotation too many to list

That's a pretty darn impressive list.

I'm in the home stretch for 'Verana' by Maria Freitas

My, you ARE a glutton for punishment, aren't you? (rdh)

One of these days I'm going to try one of those. Maybe not something quite as ambitious as that, but there must be a few out there that are a little more beginner friendly.
