Threading on thin ice. Saving the world, one stitch at a time. We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through the fabric of illusion." -Ansel Adams. Chapter 6: Use of Bonding. The store did not sell "Bondaweb", although I did find a bottle of glue that you spread on and then can iron, as well as the powder form of an iron-on glue.

http://tyketextiles.blogspot.com/2012/01/tast-2012-week-2buttonhole-stitch.html
Exploring Viv's textile adventures! Thursday, 12 January 2012. TAST 2012 - Week 2–Buttonhole Stitch. Week 2 of TAST 2012 on http:/ www.pintangle.com. This is worked on dyed hessian fabric. I tried buttonhole wheel, barred buttonhole wheel, long and short buttonhole, buttonhole stitch shading, up and down buttonhole and saw tooth buttonhole – lots of buttonholes but not many holes! 12 January 2012 at 13:41. I love your sampler. The stitching is very neat, and I like the colour scheme too.

wortdego: Back again at last
http://wortdego.blogspot.com/2009/07/back-again-at-last.html
Thursday, 16 July 2009. Back again at last. I figure it's about time I did something here, so here I am doing something - here. We've been doing odds and ends with our leisure activities and making some decisions about which way to go. Viv's trying to get going with the 'Holey Moley' group but it's been a bit overshadowed by the 'me me me' brigade who just want people to admire their martyrdom. Hopefully that'll settle down and she'll be able to enjoy the group. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We bot...
