Today is Labor Day in the US and even though in most places the kids have been back to school a couple of weeks, it signals the traditional end of summer. We’re celebrating today by having a dinner party featuring a slow-cooked pork roast (recipe from the current issue of Cook’s Illustrated). You’re probably busy too, so I thought I would give you some tidbits of new things coming to whet your appetite.
The Pure Palette’s lovely silk thread, Baroque Silk, has new colors coming out. They are: Sunset, Camp Fire, Gravity, Malt, Old Gold, Dreamland, Mermaid, and Artisan. This company’s colors are always lovely, so I can’t wait to see them. If you like larger mesh (13 or 14) and want an easy-to-use silk, try Baroque Silk, it’s lovely and more shiny than Vineyard Silk. It is also easily split so it works well on 18 mesh too.
Amy Bunger is working on a new DVD, her ninth. A release date hasn’t been set, but it’s called Under Construction and will have stitches for buildings.
Awhile ago I reviewed Yvette Stanton’s book on left-handed stitching. She has now come out with the companion, Right-handed Embroiderer’s Companion.
Squigee has some new designs debuting later this month, a delightful Halloween series! Gail has blogged about several of them, including Witch Hazel. There are also some pictures of the new designs on her website.
