2 Days of Great Embroidery Fun

Tuesday and Wednesday was filled with great fun making the design from Julie Halls design collection. All the people attending completed there project and were ready to go home and put in a frame. We really enjoyed having Julie come to the store if you don't know her she is from Austrialia. She has beautiful designs. We now have lots of them in stock at the store.
We are also so very thankful to our friend Barbara (aka Tatoo Lady) for bring Julie up from Atlanta and being her driver while she was with us. If you missed this time hopefully we can have her back sometime next year.
Don't forget Saturday Santi from Hatched In Africa and Cara from AllSorts Embroidery will be at the store for there trunkshow.
I believe we will just call this the international week at MidSouths Best Sewing with Austrilia and South Africa both represented at our store this week ,we are so blessed to have such wonderful customers that come and support all these people we have come in and share there talents. Our customers are what make it a joy to have these kinds of gatherings.

MidSouth's Best Sewing Saturday, May 1 @ 11:00AMCash, checks or credit cards will be excepted.

I'm thinking it's time one of us posted something new! I've been playing with my WonderFil threads today. If you haven't tried them yet, you really should. Imagine metallic threads that stitch and embroider without breaking...these do. Just use a size 14 or 16 topstitching needle.

There are some heavyweight threads in luscious colors and variegateds, too, that will add great texture to your work, and they're as easy to sew with as the metallics...and I haven't even mentioned the heaviest threads, for bobbin work. You know, your Quattro has an extra bobbin case just for bobbin work, and these are the perfect threads to try.

Besides, with names like Sizzle, Razzle and Dazzle - not to mention Spaghetti - don't these threads make you want to play?
