. . . especially when they are great big rings holding
skeins & skeins of these beauties.
In a couple of weeks, I'm going to TNNA's
(The National Needlework Association)
Spring Show in Nashville (I'm so excited!!!),
. . . & I've pulled all of my floss sample rings from both
Weeks Dye Works & The Gentle Art, as they will both be there.
Valdani will also be at this show, so between these three. . .
I'm going to be in overdyed floss & perle cotton heaven!
I printed off their latest order forms, so that I could check
what I have on my sample rings, & know which flosses I need to get to
get my sample rings up-to-date.
Some folks might think that this would be tedious,
but I had a 'ball'!. . . I kept falling in love with certain colors. . .
. . . all over again, & it was all I could do to not keep stopping
to plan a new idea for new designs.
Bit, I persevered
(. . . it's a tough job - but somebody's good do it!).
(Also, for those of you who might be wondering - Weeks Dye Works' colors are now colorfast! (yippee!!!) You can read about it here.)
But. . . until then, I've got three quilts that need to be quilted,
& two more just getting started.
(. . . & yes, one of then will have stitchery on it!)
. . . so there's no getting bored around here!
Hope your week is filled with lots of fun things too!

I would love to go, maybe next year. I would be in thread heaven!
ReplyDeleteFloss is almost as fun to collect as fabric. Have fun at the show.
ReplyDeleteI love looking through all my floss too. Sometimes the colors will inspire a new project. I have my Weeks on rings but need to do the same for Gentle Arts.
