I love it when a plan comes together. But even better than that, I love it when something that wasn't planned comes together. For example, when I first started fiddling about with voided monograms ten years ago, did I know that these round floral voided monograms would fit so perfectly into t| NeedlenThread.com

Welcome to Tuesday! And to a Very Quiet Week at Needle 'n Thread. Anna, you see, is gone for the week. And while neither of us may be the Most Talkative People in the World while we are working, it's strange to be working alone again, in silence. It's funny, though - I'm making it through my| NeedlenThread.com

Whew! It was a wild and wooly weekend out here in Kansas, thanks to some sweeping storm fronts and the anticipation and anxiety they bring with them. It's not that I don't like a good thunderstorm, but destructive weather is always worrisome in case it hits, and heart-wrenching when it does hit.| NeedlenThread.com
Good morning! I've got a lot to chat with you about in the coming days, as we pull together the projects that we're working on here in the studio. My goal this week is to set up the "final" version of a project sample I'll be stitching over the next couple weeks. It's a small, spring-bright,| NeedlenThread.com
