rgz Bookmark Tutorial is Up!
The readergirlz bookmark tutorial is up! There’s still time to order a kit, so if you know a readergirl who might be interested, send her a link.
And now here’s an idea for all you already-stitchers. In the intro video and tutorial, I encourage readergirlz to stitch an extra bookmark or two to include in the [...]Steampunk Embroidery
Alan, the Bookmark Collector (both the physical kind and the electronic kind) and the main brain behind the Bookmark Collectors’ Virtual Convention, left this comment after I wondered about steampunk embroidery. Since not everyone reads comments, I’m re-posting it here because I want everyone to see it.
Alan’s comment altered to make live links:
Oh Jen [...]Bookmark Collectors’ Convention
The Bookmark Collectors’ Virtual Convention starts tomorrow at 8 am, PST. It is so exciting to be part of something brand new! I love the people who are making this happen: they are fun, adventurous, hard-working, enthusiastic, willing to take risks, and creative and smart enough to handle whatever happens. It’s a first; no one [...]
Becca’s Earrings
Becca signed on for the I Heart You Earrings class at The Stitchers’ Village. Check out her work.
I’ve made three pairs- one for me and two I’m giving away. Need to make more. Oh, I used DMC satin S602 and an iridescent Kreinik ribbon. These are fun! Happy Valentine’s Day!
It is a happy day when [...]Bookmark Convention
Ta Da! We’re there. I’m happy. It took several more attempts, and the differences are small, but…well…they make all the difference. Now I can’t wait to share this with the readergirlz!
Registration is open for the Bookmark Collectors Virtual Convention, Feb. 20 – 21. Ten dollars gives you access to all the seminars, galleries, the trade [...]Embroidered Earrings
It’s here! The event we’ve all been waiting for! Stitchers lined the Village streets on January 31, spending the night outside in the cold, wet snow to be the first to register for the new Limited Edition On Demand Video Class. Hurry! Last one there’s a rotten egg!
Ahem.
Okay, so I can’t do hype. [...]February Stitchers’ Voice is Up
The Stitchers’ Voice is the e-zine produced in The Stitchers’ Village. It comes out monthly and contains news about events, classes, patterns, shops, designers, and sundry stitchy things. There’s usually a contest or two, sometimes a pattern, and always a heap of fun. And, oh yeah, it often contains something from me.
The February issue is [...]
A Storm!
A brainstorm, that is. Oh, how I love a brainstorm: an outpouring of ideas with flashes of brilliance!
Continued from yesterday…
Like Shelly, I love the idea of being able to write favorite lines and titles on the bookmark. The concern about needing the suggestion to do so can be easily addressed. I like how this makes [...]Readergirlz Bookmark
I’ve been waffling something awful on the finishing method for the readergirlz bookmark. And don’t ask me how many samples I’ve made because I’m not telling. What do you think of this:
It’s backed with card stock–Mike’s on a colored card stock mission in town tomorrow–so that we can write book titles or Lines We Love [...]Behind the Scenes
I did it! I made my first on demand video class for The Stitchers’ Village. It is a Limited Edition project class.
Limited Edition = for a limited time. It will only be available through the month of February. Project class means the subject is a project as opposed to a technique like Hardanger or [...]
