Yikes! I'm hoping for a no-snow winter because everything grinds to a halt here, with even a little snow, as we're not geared up for it.

Does helping my grand-daughter sort her muddled mess of fabrics, sewing threads, embroidery threads, buttons, hoops and art materials count as my daily dose today?
Weather wise, 2019 got off to a great start here with a sunny/light cloud day and a midday high of 11C (52F).
I'm an optimist and I'm sure we'll all have a very creative year.

Hello Darrell and welcome to the forum! It's great that you've fallen in love with fibre because you'll not get bored in your retirement - there's too much to find out and do.

Thank you Antje! I had to read it a couple of times - but I get it now and I shall be using that stitch in the future!

I'm intrigued too Antje - I've not heard of twisted blanket stitch.

I think I went a mince pie too far ... again ... never learn!

An interesting philosophy. I might give it a try. I find when I’ve made something like a picture, if there’s one part I don’t like, it’s very hard not to focus only on that part whenever I look at it, however small. Not just that but I tend to point out the imperfection to other people! When my bathroom was re-tiled I overheard the builder and tiler talking. The builder pointed out that a tile or two had been put on the wall incorrectly - the tiler replied that he never showed his mistakes to customers and they never noticed! I just know that you're going to ask if I tackled the tiler about this ... no, I didn't. It was a mixture of cowardice and wanting the project finished as quickly as possible because the building work had been going on so long and the repair would have delayed things.

It's better looking than mine! Good idea to use a sanding block as a base.

I think that's about right Ruth. In my case it probably stems from trying to please my needlework teacher at school (over half a century ago) - she insisted that every stitch was perfect.
