So they day after I finished our Summer Block of the week I got these in the mail…and look what was included…IMG_5264

You would mark on dark with the our favorite marking pen.  Click HERE for white marking pen. You would use lead pencil on light fabric…

When the feather stitch is complete…add the lazy daisy flowers…

IMG_5295

Here is mine using no templates…I am pretty good…but with these the template my stitching would have been perfect…don’t get me wrong…I am perfectly fine with my stitching…but SO MANY people struggle with the stitches itself and then the spacing is another killer…so regardless of you level of expertise you NEED these template…

IMG_5266We have the book and the templates available on our website just click the links above in the post to “go there”…again…remember we so appreciate you ordering from us…and rewarding us for informing you on these great products…I know you know it is the right thing to do to support the little businesses.

Here is a quick link to the threads  I have shown them two ways so you can see the numbers and the colors better.PrimitiveGatherings_Valdani#8.SolidCollection2PrimitiveGatherings_Valdani#8.SolidCollection2.iPrimitiveGatherings_Valdani#8.SolidCollection1PrimitiveGatherings_Valdani#8.SolidCollection1.iPrimitiveGatherings_Valdani#8.OandVseriesPrimitiveGatherings_Valdani#8.OandVseries.i

Mary and my sister Lisa met for the first time…we went to Amaze & Grace, the Harley shop…Culvers for dinner(on Mary’s list) and then to Lambeau!!! We had some fun…and…we should not shop together…ever…again! That’s all I’m saying…IMG_5411IMG_5412IMG_5413IMG_5409

    I’m a Wisconsin girl living in Colorado. It was such fun to see you three ladies standing in front of the Packers logo. I was a teenager when Bart Star was the man for the Packers empire…thats been a year or two ago!
    Thanks for the memories.

    I’ve seen the book but not the templates. I may actually make a decent dish with them.

    WTG templates for crazy stitches makes so much sense! I always find the crazy stitches to be frustrating. Perhaps I can change my mind knowing these tools are available. I know this would work great for my projects which continue to be a work in progress.
    I want to live in your warehouse I love all the colors I see in the photos. Guess I need to get more.
    Thanks for the informative post.

    This set of book/templates sounds wonderful! I don’t struggle HA!, (yes, yes I do struggle to be even with my stitches and lengths). Would love to add this to my toolbox.
