Updating

Sunday November 5, 2006

It has been awhile since I updated and I have been very busy with many things. I will have a new kit up soon. It is a needlepoint one using several different stitches. I am also working on blackwork and whitework needlecases.

I recently found a computer program to help me chart things so I am learning that as well. What fun it is to learn it.

I also took a short hiatus and learned knitting and made a pair of socks. They are so comfortable!!! And colourful in shades of red, blue, yellow, cream and green. I will attempt to get some photos up soon.

Thimble and Thistle features historical methods of needlework, and embroidery projects inspired by historical textiles.

We create kits and patterns utilizing many different styles of the needlearts: embroidery, crewel, needlepoint, bargello, blackwork, hardanger and many others.

Look for our sampler packs – an opportunity to learn different styles of needleart. Go take a look.
