Thread-u-cation Thursdays: ACES Unite!

 In my never ending quest to bring embroidery stitches to the masses, I present to you another episode of ACES. ACES, the Association for Combining Embroidery Stitches, uniting stitches and stitchers around the world. With ACES you never stitch alone.

In this week’s episode, we combine the Scattered Seed Stitch and the Cross Stitch. Like little soldiers lined up on a  battle field of fabric, they form an alliance against the dreaded Herringbone Stitch.  Note the orderly combination that  builds pattern and unity across the fabric plain. The dreaded, fearsome Herringbone Stitch has not a chance!

Check out my tutorials for creating all these and other brave stitches on the Thread-u-cation Page. Join ACES and get your stitching act together!

Fist Full of Thread Winner!

Thank you everyone for entering the Fist Full of Thread! give away in celebration of my new book, Fanciful Stitches, Colorful Threads. Our lucky winner, drawn from a virtual hat, is Linda M. (I don’t mean we drew her out of the hat, I mean her name was drawn from a virtual hat.) Congratulations Linda!

And for those of you who where not drawn out of a hat, please visit the Fairfield World site where you can get a PDF of my free Poppy Pattern. I am this months featured designer! Do you see the sun spinning in the corner of the Fairfield World site opening page? That’s my quilt!
Next Tuesday another project from Fanciful Stitches, Colorful Quilts will be revealed. I know. I know. The anticipation is overwhelming.
