Bucilla - Threads in their kits

I am currently working a Bucilla kit called the Needlework Shoppe. I have come to just about the 3/4 point in the kit and I am running out of about 1/3 of the different colours. Bucilla lists a bunch of numbers in their thread list in the kit, but don't say whether the threads are DMC or whatever. Does anyone know what type of thread they use? I intend to finish the kit as far as possible, keeping a sample of which threads I am running out of, try and match it to DMC or Anchor and if that is not possible I will have to write to them for additional supplies. Add my voice to the list of people stating why they don't buy kits! I keep this kit at work so that I have something to stitch at noonhour and it is most annoying that I won't get this finished before it is too nice outside to sit inside stitching! Arrgh. |

Nice to see at least a *bit* of action here again! What is everyone working on? I am doing a foxgloves pattern: https://www.thestitchery.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=TB3629 I'm nearly done...have all the green done and am working on the few bottom flowers. I'm actually stitching it for Arliss (former member of this group), who has trouble stitching on black. I've also started (but have set aside for the duration of the foxgloves) their hollyhocks kit https://tinyurl.com/yxrnzv5p which is for me. These are kits from Europe (Riolis) and use an acrylic/wool blend, which has been a dream to work with...it's pretty soft stuff and the colors are really vibrant. And (to keep this on topic) they are supplied with plenty of floss. :) Joan in very snowy ND! |

So I'll add my own. ;) I'm currently re-stitching models for my first four Goodie Bag charts. Zweigart liked them so much, they kept my original models for display at trade shows and such. Considering how generous with sample fabrics they are, I had no problem with that, but I do want to have a complete set of models in my own collection. The big news I've been holding back is that I've developed a new website along with several friends (one of whom is another stitcher) and will eventually be re-posting my old freebie charts on the new site plus newer, exclusive designs that have never before been published. The site won't be just about stitching, but I'm hoping that the freebies will bring in some interest and folks will find other things about it they like and keep coming back. BTW the site will have NO ads or tracking. It's not a money- maker, just an outlet for us to share our interests and ideas with others. I'll let everyone here know when the site goes live. I can't wait to start getting feedback on all the work that's been done. Nyssa At River's End It's nice to read about folks are working on. I wish I could add. Haven't picked up a needle in so long. Maybe this is the push I need. Look forward to you site, Nyssa. Nancy --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

I'm peaking in, since I do get the digest and see that Joan has mentioned my name. I know that Joan intends to enter the foxgloves bell pull at her county fair. I would hope (but suspect it might not work out) that she could enter her hollyhock bell pull at the same time; I might persuade her to hold off and enter both at the same time next year.
I've been working on a couple of Mirabilia designs - Stone Roses (just beads and ribbon work left) and Lady of the Flag (just a bit of a hair color change, then backstitching and beads left); I set both aside to stitch Marie Barber's blue and white floral teapot, which is also almost finished, with just a few more cross stitches and backstitching to do. I've been dealing with dry eye for the last couple of years, so I have some really awful days during which I can't do much of anything - except pour the drops in and cover my eyes with warm compresses. Some days I can read, even if I can't stitch. (Have you ever noticed that you do not blink as much while stitching as you do during other activities? It's true.) If one goes by the interstates, I'm about 270 miles from Joan. It's also cold and snowy here. Bismarck had 6 or 7 consecutive days of subzero highs this month, and we've been getting plenty of "nuisance" snowfallss, which are snowfalls of under 2 inches; our HOA has a snow removal contractor come in to clean driveways and sidewalks when we get 2 inches or more, but it's up to the individual homeowner to clean up anything less than 2 inches. Ugh. I have a backache from shoveling today. Arliss Nice to see at least a *bit* of action here again! What is everyone working on?
