You also know someone who has a stockpile of crewel wool and would be willing to share. What colours do you need?<br />Loving you still, TeriTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892453156451994225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811845449162452477.post-19409407057209681892011-10-23T23:00:04.262-04:002011-10-23T23:00:04.262-04:00There is nothing more beautiful than the colors of...There is nothing more beautiful than the colors of fall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811845449162452477.post-17988111573169782712011-10-21T17:33:33.516-04:002011-10-21T17:33:33.516-04:00Yup, still in Chinatown.

Crewelwork is a lot like embroidery, just "thicker", it was actually really popular in the 70's.<br />I remember your lit project! It was lovely!! <br />We really do need to get together soon, I forget, are you still in Chinatown?Jenny - Pocketful Of Posieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136941117111537305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811845449162452477.post-35916970754537129482011-10-21T15:47:13.400-04:002011-10-21T15:47:13.400-04:00Yay, Beatrix Potter!

I love embroidery work, I used to do it a lot in my early teens but then fell into my funky years and dropped it. I should pick it up again... Although I'm industriously working away at a queen sized quilt at the moment so I probably shouldn't divide my attention any more than it is hah. I've never even heard of crewelwork before, had to google it, guess I just assumed it was all embroidery.<br /><br />I've actually got a load of nice embroidery thread my grandmother passed me. If I ever get my butt out there somehow, I'll bring it to you so you can use it, instead of it just sitting in my spare room.<br /><br />I do agree it's a shame these lovely arts and skills are fading away. I tell people I'm making a quilt and they seem so amazed. I think the problem is folks are too glued to their iPhones and PS3's and what-have-you's to take the time (because it takes a lot of it) and effort to learn and perfect these ever so enjoyable and fulfilling activities.Celhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871879969054133260noreply@blogger.com
