Shown today: Stacy Nash Big Blue House Pinkeep Drum, stitched on Legacy Linen 38 count Himalayan Fog
This will be the early summer flosstube kit, release date TBA
The ribbon types discussed were single vs. double face ribbons and polyester vs. 100% silk
The dark blue ribbon shown is a single face, bias cut habotai silk with a raw edge. It's a very thin silk, which combined with the bias cut gives it a very drapey quality
And I used Vonna's fabulous drum tutorial for the finishing: youtube.com/watch?v=32N4PEaqdV8&t=13s
Plum Street Samplers This Happy Morning, on Legacy Linen 38 count Fuller's Teazel
Haul: HATS Sarah Rinder, the Needle in a Haystack 25th anniversary exclusive: needlestack.americommerce.com/chart/HATS-SRinder.aspx
And the linen I love for it is Legacy Linen 38 count Filbert (the 45 count equivalent is Nightingale, 53/63 is Waffle Cone)
Rifle Paper Co. Peacock fabric, I showed the Hunter colorway: riflepaperco.com/peacock-hunter-metallic-cotton-fabric
And not new, but seen here is my Katie project bag from Lu&Su, who announce their releases on Susan's channel: @susanstandleystitchintime
The papered casket form I showed from Thistle Threads is called a short flat casket, often stitched with Nelham style cartouches. The Britomart casket is a style called the flat casket, but there are also flat caskets with doors, and slope top caskets. And those are just the styles that Tricia has reproduced - caskets had a wide variety of variations on the basic box form in the 17th century.
The forms are now only available as fully kitted project classes, but there are still some left: thistle-threads.myshopify.com/collections/online-university
