It’s a Neckasary because it keeps everything
necessary for stitching right around your neck where it is handy
on an airplane, in class, at the office, in the car, or in your favorite
stitching chair! There’s a magnet hidden behind the bandana
lining to “park” your
needle. “Orts” are thread snippets, so that pocket
holds them, and the top pocket can be modified for whatever tools
you consider essential. Down among the cows you can keep a collection
of needles and pins. The clasp is magnetic, so no fumbling. The
materials are readily available; a bandana, felt, 20 ct linen,
button magnet and magnetic clasp (look in jewelry findings at any
craft store or site). All the photos, illustrations, patterns and
instructions are included for this easy, fun organizer !Check your
stash for the Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread colors: 100, 260, 370,
745, 900. CT14 Neckasary

TOTE
I've been told that this is the perfect "church toy." This is so much fun to make! The bear is included with the chart and everything is done on 28ct linen. You can make the nightgown blue or pink. The pillow is covered with Cobblestone stitch and the little quilt can be tucked under the turned-down "sheet" or folded and put away in the pocket. The front of the pocket gives you a place to say "Stitched for" someone's name and to add your initials and the date. Edges are quickly finished with Tailor's Buttonhole stitch and the whole project folds to a convenient carry case. Complete illustrated instructions make it easy!
Chartpak is $14.00

Hedebat

Here's a fun intro to
a beautiful form of drawnwork derived from Danish
Hedebo, but with a very modern subject!
Work the outline in two rows of chain stitch, cut
pairs of threads inside the outline and simply wrap
the remaining threads. The cross stitch border of
bats can be added first or last, your choice.
Stunning mounted on black matboard!
