I am just putting some finishing touches on things to take with me for the Needleworker’s Market in Toronto and then on the event at Stitchville USA. It is all exciting. My pile in the office will be cleared today and that will be great.
I wanted to post some pictures. One is of Paoloa Botti’s work out of Luxembourg on My Stitching Album. I love how she put the titles of each page on the opposite side to show it. The spine is beyond what I had imagined, and well just the whole vision, it is just magnificent. Enjoy!
I do have more stitcher’s work to load and if this works well I will try the others too!

We are working on getting the Chapter 4 shipment ready to go. It has been busy with working on the all the accounting from a very good Nashville needlework show and getting the patterns bagged etc.  The weather was lovely and getting to meet old and new friends again  it was a great weekend. We will be ready to ship starting on Monday Feb. 23. So look for Florentine Fancy to come soon.

The pocket item for this page is a leather scissors sheath with the JD initials on it. It is done in a warm brown and will match the Premax scissors from Norden or Wichelt. PX 1148 Flower scissors.  I have seen 2 MSA projects of note- done up to and including Scotch Switch (yes, they are keeping up!) - one done on black fabric with some colour changes and one done on 40ct Lt Examplar using the colour palette given -it is absolutely stunning. If you have not chosen fabric yet and are a 40ct person, you must do this!

Please note: Dec. 30/08.

I have just noticed as I am working on the next chapter in our book – the instructions that is…. and I found that I forgot the Scotch Switch Notes page! So to that, I will get it printed and add it into the shipment in February of Florentine Fancy. My sincere apologies.

Also on the finishing instructions first page there are a few lines missing. I will also fix that up here in the next week or so.
