My goodness, how did you ever learn about all the different techniques? Keep up the great work, and good luck!" Karen in CA "I'm enjoying your monthly newsletter. I have just finished a redwork project as a wedding gift and it turned out super. When I get the pictures done, I'll send you a copy. Of course, pictures never do the work justice. Redwork is another interesting embroidery subject for you to think about. Thanks." Janet in VA "I so love this site. Very, very informative. Alrighty... I am brand (almost..a few cross stitch'd) new to embroidery. I was trying to keep it simple and before I knew it, whoosh... I bought a ton of vintage transfers (anthro/animated = some a tiny bit risque (;o))): ships; baby-quilt block stuff!?; flowers. You name it, I bid on it. I also was forced (NOT) into buying some truly lovely vintage linen, which when I'm done with the embroidery, and baby quilts (I've never quilted, so when my 4 month old grandson starts K5 I can present him with my beautiful baby quilt) I will then of course turn my head towards hardanger. But all of that aside, I am doing most of this for Christmas gifts and some I will put on vintage linen or similar, and the rest on huck cloth. This might sound a bit naive, but I can buy 50 already presewn huck towels 17" x 24" from a 'supply' house, or 10 yds of 15" huck cloth. The difference in price is about $15 more for the yardage, not too bad. The difference in quantity is a bunch though. HOWEVER, these are for Christmas gifts, and I don't want a cheap looking towel after my HARD work. Can anyone comment on the bulk ready-made versus the yardage? A big, big difference? Also, for right now I am primarily interested in kitschy 40's and 50's emb. patterns. I have seen most of the Vogart and Aunt Martha's, but there is one I saw on Ebay that was the anthro, I believe it was a talking tomato whose manner seemed Mae West-y, if that makes sense, again risque (for the era). They were precious. Can't find them now to save my life. I have searched on Google, etc. and they have apparently vanished. If anyone has seen them I will be most grateful for a source. Besides ebay, this is my new home. Thank you so much for getting this site together and keeping it." Rebecca "Hi from Japan. I enjoy cross stitching and Swedish weaving ever since I was a little girl. Love to join your community to share fun stuffs! Thanks." Kumi in Japan "I'm new at punch embroidery, but I really love every punch coming out of that hoop. As a young grandmother, I was delighted to learn punch needle through the internet because that has opened a variety of projects for my grandchildren to enjoy. Thank you so much for your tips and newsletter." Iris Did you share your favorite embroidery method yet?
