The needle test

Okay, so for ever I have been a Piecemakers staunch supporter. They are the best needles ever and I have been addicted to them since 1993 when I started stitching on linen. So, the Halloween Fairy came with a John James needle and I said, what the hell, mind as well give it a try, make sure I am not missing anything. I am happy to report...I am not missing anything. I have stitched the whole Fairy with the JJ and it isn't as strong as a Piecemakers for one thing. PM are stronger needles and they never bend or distort and well, this JJ needle is distorted. So, I decided as soon as I was done the Fairy body I would ditch this thing and stitch the fairy wings with a PM. I will continue on my Piecemakers crusade. :)

I still love stitching with the Crescent Colors threads and I love the names. Chocolate Cream Pie, Eve's Leaves, Bunny Honey, they are really fun names.

I finished another book today called The Seduction of Water by Carol Goodman. It is her second book; the first was Lake of Dead Languages. SOW was really good. I have her 3rd book, The Drowning Tree and may start that tonight. Happy 4th of July.
