Around the ‘net

and other ideas too
I love Mark Lipinski.  I think he spends the day on the internet finding all these wonderful sites so I can then share them with all of you.

posted a really beautiful idea.  Dig out your old frames, raid your stash and get going!  Wouldn’t these make great gifts for your stitching friends?
This idea is a bit time consuming, but I can see doing it for very special occasions.  Anniversary, wedding, bridal shower of which I have none in my future.  Well, anniversaries but we don’t celebrate ours at home…….

Mark didn’t post this one, but it’s a great idea from Windham Fabrics.  This is for those gals that go to stitch and chat, workshops, or those that carry their projects from one room to the next.  That would be me!

Okay, last one for this trip around the internet.  This is from Marcus Brothers whose fabrics I have always loved.  They are the makers of most of the Civil War/Reproduction fabrics.  They also give away free patterns on their website.  Free is good.  This one I really like.  So many different fabrics you could use for this………..even your scraps!
