Re: blouse with controlled raw edges + metallic embroidery
I love your blouse, and appreciate the detailed description of your process. The raw edges and decorative stitches are a wonderful combination. I like the shape of the blouse, too - looks like something you'll wear a lot.

Your hand-stitching is so nicely done. Attractive design, too. This looks like a most-comfortable outfit.
posted: 2:57 pm on August 3rdRe: Handpainted Linen Sundress with Beading
The hand-painting is beautiful, and looks beautiful with the lilac skirt and piping trim. Well done.

This is super. Who'd've thought that navy linen would produce that color after discharging? Nice arrangement of color on the pockets and sleeves.

Just amazing.
posted: 2:40 pm on August 3rdRe: Sashiko Linen Vest with Silk Dupioni
I, too, love the sashiko embroidery, but I also think your use of the colorful dupioni silk in the pleat and piping really sets off this vest. Great fabric choices and beautiful work.

Simply beautiful.

What a pleasure it must've been to grant the request of your nephew. I hope his trip is wonderful and successful, and rewarded by another pair of linen pants from you. Would you consider getting on the Gatherings site and filling us in on some of the details of the pants?

I love this. Creative design, beautifully executed.

Very nice design. A flattering take-off on the bolero, with an attractive shape on the hem. I hope you'll post photos of your other versions of this jacket.

I, too, look forward to the back-cover photos with the arrival of each of my Threads magazines. Thank you for the research. Those garments are treasures.
posted: 2:47 pm on April 6thRe: Multilingual fabric wiki
What a great idea! I especially like the "Sewing challenges" part of the description of the fabrics, with tips on how to handle those challenges; also the "Cutting properties." Some online fabric vendors offer some care instructions, and some sewing and cutting techniques, but certainly not all. Even the brick-and-mortar stores often don't have that information. This site will be a boon for many of us who sew, and you will have the gratitude of many, many sewers, I'm sure. Thank you so much.

The bride looks beautiful, and she was a lucky girl to have you make her gown. What beautiful work you do.

Very nice polymer clay pieces.
posted: 2:56 pm on March 1stRe: lace festival idrija 2007
What a treat it is to see more of your work. This lace is just wonderful. I wish I could see all of the entries up close. The display of the lace on the network of strings is very clever. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope your work will be chosen for display in the Threads Magazine also. It would be so interesting to know more about the entire creative process.

Very pretty. Simple, feminine design makes best use of this beautiful fabric. Your embellishment on the front is just right.
posted: 8:40 pm on February 26thRe: Green Bag
Fun. Don't you love it when you can use those treasures you've stumbled upon?
posted: 8:37 pm on February 26thRe: Strike It Rich Gold Trenchcoat
Very nice job. I like your fabric/button choices.
posted: 8:35 pm on February 26thRe: Advanced clothing construction class.....finished projects in 2008!
Lovely work. You picked some challenging fabrics to work with. And fun patterns. Congratulations on finishing so many UFO's.
posted: 8:28 pm on February 26thRe: Threads Announces New Editor
Congratulations and good luck in your new position. I look forward to many interesting articles under your direction, including the kinds of challenging techniques which have inspired so many of us through the years with Threads.
posted: 11:56 pm on February 23rdRe: Guipure Lace Shell
It is beautiful, and something you can wear many times, with many outfits. Congratulations. It must've been a real treat to work on this personally with Susan Khalje in her class.
posted: 4:17 pm on February 18thRe: Embellished Tulip Skirted Dress
Lovely job. You chose a beautiful fabric for this dress, crisper than the "suggested fabrics" on the pattern, but which works beautifully with this skirt. I wonder what a drapier fabric would do, like the lightweight jersey or crepe recommended. I like your simple, elegant embellishment, attractively placed. The binding on sleeves and neckline is nicely done. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Interesting screen-printing. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us.

Just lovely. Congratulations on a wonderful project. I'd love to hear more details about the challenge, your process, and the materials you used. How about an article for Threads?
posted: 1:14 pm on January 5thRe: Hand painted silk dress
I love the colors you've used, and the dress style is perfect for showcasing your painted design. I'd love more detail about the painting and dying process on the silks.
posted: 11:48 am on December 21stRe: Kelly's wedding gown
Your daughter's wedding was beautiful, in a beautiful place, too. Her dress, and all the others are so lovely. I can't imagine taking on such a huge project, and not going stark raving mad. :>) I'm sure your daughter and granddaughter will be telling stories about your feat for a long time.
posted: 4:38 pm on December 5thRe: To Go Bag Challenge
Great job(s). That must've been fun to do as a group.
posted: 4:33 pm on December 5thRe: ART TO WEAR CLOTHING
That cheerful vest would be a great pick-up on even a bad-hair day. Must've been a fun project.

What a beautiful dedication gown. The bonnet is just beautiful. I know it will be treasured always.
