Old Top Hat has a sister color and more

 Yes-been working hard in the dye studio.  Old Top Hat has a lighter more 'vintage' used look sister color.  Sooooo-there is Old Top Hat and Vintage Old Top Hat....see below.  They come in all counts-just look for them in my Etsy Store.

Hope you like the variation!

Have I talked about my new color-probably-but here it is-You know I am a land locked Mermaid-right????  Well, Mermaid's Firewood is up my alley.  I love this color-it is brown, greyish and a hint of pink and yellow at times.  It looks like worn driftwood to me-hence-Mermaid's Firewood-what else would a proper Mermaid use for a lovely evening bon fire while sitting on a coastal shoreline surveying their domain....

Plus!!!!!!  You cannot have Mermaid's linen without Pom Pom and Crinkle Ribbon to go with it....what stylish Mermaid would be without accessories....More coming.

Well, I am off to create and dye more things.  Have a lovely day.  Thanks for peaking in.  

Oh-I will be showing our class with Primitive Hare in October 2022-there may be an opening if you are interested. 

Hugs and thank you for your support.  Ebeth

Yes! I am teaching in Texas-Texan Style Tray Topper

 AFter a very different and interesting year.  Not sure I shared-but right between Nashville 2022 market and The Sampler Guild of Georgia annual Retreat.  I managed to fall and break my right shoulder -the ball in half.  Well, it has been a long recovery and with the help of friends I was able to keep the business going and move on.  It has been slow and I still have a few of those things hanging around that need to be taken care of...it just seems like there is never enough time to get everything done.  

The universe had stepped in and I had canceld all my obligations for 2022.  I decided I needed to focus on getting things in line, so all my vendor and teaching obligationsfor 2022-I bowed out of.  Yes, things work out for a reason.  Literally after canceling everything the next day I broke my shoulder.  Well, if you have never done this and let the break heal without surgery, you know that it is a year long process.  It is September 2022 and I am still on limited picking up and so on.  

Well, if you know me-I cannot say no.  I am going to take a look see at the Houston Quilt Market in October of this year.  3 Stitches (281) 320-0133 asked for me to teach a class since I would be in the area.  So, on October 27th, 2022 I will be teach the finishing for Texan Style Tray Topper.  This piece will not be released at a later date.  3 Stitches will have the chart and do as they wish with it after this.  It is stitcher on my Mermaid's Firewood with an assortment of overdyed threads and finished with Mermaid's Fire Crinkle Ribbon and Mermaid's Osnaburg on the back.  Contact Pam at 3 Stitches at the phone number above to get your pre-stitching kit.  There are a few spots left.  I cannot wait to teach!

I also can design a similar design if your guild, shop or group would like to have a ruler tray topper in this style.

Well I am off to get my house ready for Isobel of Primitive Hare.  She will be in Atlanta for her only American teaching gig for 2022.  We are busy stitching her piece for her to come and teach the finishing October 21, 22, 2022.  We as of today September 8, 2022 have 2 spots open and then it is a closed class.  info@damesoftheneedle.com .
