I have found a most wonderful blog by Brigette Dadaux. She is, of course, French, and I am having a most wonderful time perusing her embroidery graphs (grilles)and trying to translate her blog. Her grilles are available as downloads. Choose telecharger. Bonne broderie! (I think!) Merci, Brigette!

I recently joined the Yahoo group of Crazy Quilting International. It’s actually 4 groups and you need to join all 4 to access all it’s features:

The eye candy alone is worth the trouble. It’s so rich, you can feel your teeth rot when you look at it!

I visited fellow members’ blogs:
