Re: Help us Choose the Next Threads Cover
I believe cover B is more appealing. The red head and green dress seam to go together better. Too much hot pink on cover A clashes and is unattractive to me. Thanks for asking. I will look for magazine in mail to see what won.

It is beautiful. I too love the button you chose.

Thank you for this article. Sandra Betzina has a new video out on sewing with boiled wool. It is really good. I just watched it this past week. Her site is POWER SEWING. For me, it is helpful to watch. I am a visual personal. I look at pictures in pattern envelopes and don't really read any of the words.

This is such a romantic wedding dress. I dream of making my daughters someday. I made mine twenty four years ago. Your daughter and yourself must be proud!

This is so beautiful. I would be so scared to cut into it, knowing that it was so old. I remember from twenty four years ago looking at the lace for my wedding dress which was on my cutting table (dining room table at the time) for a whole month before I would cut it.

Re: Metallic Cocktail Dress
This is beautiful, daughter and dress! I hope she knows how lucky she is to have a Mom that can sew as well as you do. Your dress is extremely flattering and sophisticated.

Wow, this is really pretty and creative!

This will be odd, but I am most grateful for my grandmothers who sewed and my 4-H group in the 70's. They gave me the desire to want to create and explore.

I like the blue one also. I would choose the blue or white. The problem with the white for me is the angle of the model. The sweater draws me right now, because I am really interested in sweater knits now. I love receiving your magazine and I have all the DVD's.
