First things first. Thank you so very much to everyone participated in our Snow Lady / Snow Man sew along. I appreciate so very much and as mentioned in my news letter to my surprise it has become an International sew along. So welcome everyone where ever you may call home and do you sewing.

I have received some questions on the colored pencils I use. I have been using Prismacolor and Polycolor pencils. I have been using these brands for long time. I like how it gives the finished designed on linen an old fashion look. Some folks have asked about Inktense pencils. I have not tried them yet but plan on ordering some to see how they work on linen. There would be nothing wrong with them the color may just be a little more vivid than the pencils I am using.

For this week’s blog video I start off providing some basic tips on thread showing how I thread my needles, how I condition the thread with pure bees wax (which I also sell) and some other types. The rest of the video focusing on showing you the stitches used on the project and how I do them.

Please leave comments questions you may have here on the blog page, YouTube, or Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/Sanabria.Friederich )

That way we can all share information as group.

Thanks again for supporting a small independent business like mine and blessings to everyone! Stay safe, healthy and sewing!
