SBQ: Family Heirlooms
http://technomom.com/2008/05/07/sbq-family-heirlooms/Do you have any pieces that you would liked passed on to future generations as family heirlooms? At one time, I thought so. My mother has a Tigerlily piece I did for her, and my father has a big Marine Corps Emblem that hangs in his office. Unfortunately, the first piece I ever framed

SBQ: Blended Threads
http://technomom.com/2008/05/06/sbq-blended-threads/How do you handle blended threads? Do you kit the blends up before you start a piece, or do you grab what colors you need and blend when the need arises? If you kit up the blends beforehand, how do you store them? Do you have another option for

Thomas shared a photo of his retro barbershop. Barbershops are becoming few and far between in the South. This week's question to stitching bloggers will generate some responses of interest to family history lovers. A few are already posted. The Great Smoky Mountains is a popular tourist destination, but those of us in East Tennessee need to offer a word of advice to all of

Distractions and SBQ
http://coffeecupthoughts.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/distractio...she is almost done, but it is a long and tedius process. On to the SBQ for this week, suggested by Jennifer : Do you have any pieces that you would liked passed on to future generations as family heirlooms? My answer is pretty much the same as Renee’s answer - I would love for my BAPs to be heirlooms, simply to have someone else appreciate the work put into them. That is it for today. Have a good weekend!

SBQ Meme: Family Heirlooms
http://www.alpinemeadow.com/stitchery/weblog/2008/04/sbq-mem...http://blog.blondelibrarian.net/archives/2008/04/sbq-heirlooms/ My fantasy would be that everything I stitch gets passed along. That said, I doubt that any of them will become family heirlooms and will most likely end up in a yard sale long after I'm buried and gone. I'm not married and don't have any children,

If you kit up the blends beforehand, how do you store them? Do you have another option for blends to share? The permalink to this post is:http://blog.blondelibrarian.net/archives/2008/04/sbq-blends/ I pull the blended threads as I need them. I'll cut the 2 (or more) different floss colors to the same length, pull however many strands I need, then stitch the blended section. If I have any blended lengths left over, I'll keep them separate and
