It is fun, Angie, if not exactly the speediest journaling method ever. I was experimenting with different stitches: running, double running, back, stem, chain etc. Each one changes waht I wanted to write. Who knew?

Gosh Valerie, that is delightful to hear esp. you never know (and I rarely know) what the posts are going to be about. But I guess that is the fun of it, at least from this end. Thank you for reading.

You are now the mistress/master/something of french knots. I'm getting the needle and hoop out right now.

What is it about French Knots? I make one and long to make another, and yet another after that. Addictive little beasts. Must practice restraint....

Hi Sarah! Tell me please, on your blue background that you are doing your wonderful embroidery on, is it a felt backing? Did you hand make it yourself and dye it? If not, where do you get this material? Thank you, Janie

Sarah, I have never dyed felt but I have silk in a plastic bag in the microwave. How did you dye the felt? Steam, immersion, then heat setting in the oven??? You have me fascinated with this subject. I found the virgin 100% wool at our local store before you mentioned what it was and after you told me what you used I went back and bought some. I would like to try a test sample.....I have indigo but when I dyed with it last summer it was very fugitive, so I think I would try something more predictable in my color choices....I really appreciate your help.

Oh, I didn't mention it is 100% virgin wool felt in a natural color. From the Nonwoven felting company.... and Thank you again. Janie
