More News from Baltimore

Scarlet Thread continues to show off the latest counted thread designs from Kathy Rees (Needle Delights) on their blog.  As is their habit, the threads for the various colorways are right there for you to drool over.

Speaking of threads, The Thread Gatherer highlights their Sheep's Silk (silk-wool blend) and says they will have wool fabric dyed to match sometime this fall at their Etsy shop.  (I didn't know they had an Etsy shop either!)

Needle Nicely sums up the Baltimore trade show with a little bit of history and a peek at some of the new times that will be in the shop shortly.

Donna's Stars is a Star

I love the color pink, so of course Donna's finished and framed Stars for the New Millennium is something I adore.

Lovely!  I hope to have the time to finish mine late this fall or early this winter.  Maybe.
