I was just pondering needles around 5 this am ... how odd to read your post NOW. <BR/><BR/>DH had a meeting in Indianapolis & we were up very early. [nice time to stitch though] <BR/><BR/>About a week ago, I had a 'new' stitcher ask me about needles & I said I used Piecemakers all the time ... and was really surprised to see the package of needles I"ve been using for 2 weeks was John James Petite. <BR/><BR/>The Piecemakers are like slivers compared to the JJ Petite. <BR/><BR/>Did I mention appreciation for Bordeaux? Wow. You are moving right along. It makes me itch to pull out one of my repros ... one of these years LOL. For now, this straight cross stitch project is ok with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060656.post-1169142631536287052007-01-18T12:50:00.000-05:002007-01-18T12:50:00.000-05:00I love all your progress photos on so many large p...I love all your progress photos on so many large projects.

And I also notice now that I boo-boo'ed quite badly and used the wrong colour for the leaves on band 3 ... don't ask me why I used the gold!! I think I just assumed every colour was in each band, and didn't check the codings! Guess I'll be a-frogging soon ... I'm going to stitch along with you a day late, as I had to do the Macaw SAL last night with Carina (her preferred night is Wed for our SAL) ... if you decide to stitch Bordeaux on Wed, maybe I could try each week to stitch it on Tue nights, then with the time difference we should be showing progress around the same time? :)<BR/><BR/>You made me laugh at poor Angus' expense ... I can just picture his gleeful little face with his e-collar off, then him sulking when you put it back on again ... too too funny (sorry Angus!)
