I didn't post for a while because I was in a sad mood. With the crisis we've problems to sell the flat and my grandmother isn't doing well. She's 91 and she's loosing her mind progressively and doesn't eat. The nurse told us it's quite normal with depressive aged people but it aches to see her suffe...

I spent my gift voucher my husband gave me for Christmas. I've work to do for a while.

Congratulations!

I love these colors; your work is stunning

Bravo! Quickly done and it's beautiful.

Leroy and Adeliane, thank you so much for your explanations of a biscornu! You did a much better job of it than I could. :) :wink: Always a pleasure. Anchor floss! I was wondering which flosses you used. The gradients are really beautiful. I tried a "mini version", with a 28 counts linen....

I love it, it's so colorful! Will you use it as pin cushion? Leroy is right, but I will add my expertise about this delicate subject. Biscornus is a french creation and became a kind of passion... A real biscornumania. Some (stupid) stitchers from my homeland think if you've not created one, you're ...

Has the Postman brought you anything fun in 2014? Yes, he did!



Soda Stitch: Superman's kit and the Goddess of Love.
Yeidam: Happy Wedding.
One pattern is missing but will be send as soon as the seller receives her delivery.

My suppliers are european and mainly french. Univers Broderie : it was THE reference 10 years ago. They had everything. Now there are fewer references and they sell "classical" patterns. Few US patterns. It's a good choice if I need DMC fabrics. I had issues with TreadworXs, these threads ...

Welcome from France. I don't stitch Chatelaines but I'm fond of Long Dog patterns. I hope too you'll post pics, your projects seem wonderful.

Ade.

That's a very good resolution and you did a great work ! -unlike me, I didn't pick up my 2014's UFOs yet-.

I love this pattern. I'd love stitch it but I know I wouldn't have your patience. Courage!

A courageous letter, while some people who have detected the abuses and done nothing.

Thank you! I began Under The Red Blues 2 years ago and I really want to finish it for my husband. We saw it finished during a craft event and it's quite spectacular (more than 1 meter long). He was so impressed he purchased himself the pattern and the thread. He said: "You were looking for some...

Annual goals: - Continue/finish my UFO Under the Red Blues created by Isabelle Haccourt Vautier http://ekladata.com/9pDf0Or_bC0DtGI8t3Z6zF-WG38.jpg - Continue/finish my UFO Randonnée created by Perette samouiloff - A mon ami Pierre http://ekladata.com/WNSmf0ULaoialP7h3in5SAE7w5E.jpg - Doll Karelle...

If a man has neither the talent nor the patience to hold a needle, how is it that so many haute couture designers are men? :doh: It's a quite strange way of thinking. My history: I was born left-handed but I was forced to use my right hand because some people are persuaded the left hand is related w...

You may send her your picture, she'll be happy to publish it.

Every pattern is free and the creator makes sure they're legal she takes care a great deal about it. I follow her work for a while because I love her dolls. I wish I could have time to stitch one or two.

I give you a link about french copyright: ADPBE Lots of french and now some European creators have joined the association. This association was created to enforce their rights in court (local and European level) because a number of people in France or Belgium copy their work and sell it via retail s...

The magazine doesn't exist anymore but the good news is the creators sell their charts under the name "les brodeuses parisiennes".

I was wondering why you were talking about a magazine, while I've seen those patterns in a Parisian shop. Which shop is wonderfully, I daresay.

It reminds me when I lived near Bordeaux, in Hossegor. Winter? What winter? :doh: My allergic sister never visited me: flower pollen, then pine pollen... It was pollen season all year long. This year is exceptionally warm in France: few snow (except in the heights) and flood in the western country d...
