Flosstube #40: Sampling with silk

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks for the silks discussion. It’s a whole new world to me, I’ve only tried one or two silks and minimally. Loved seeing your embroidery work from the holiday. It’s beautiful and the holiday sounds wonderful. Take care my friend.

The holiday was really special. I do need to get on and finish the embroidery, though!

[@ankaretwells7618]

Wow, the stork is absolutely gorgeous!

[@RosClarkeCraft]

It really is! I do want to finish soon while I still remember how!

[@stitchyrach6252]

Lovely to catch up with you. Fab to hear about your holiday and see what you have been working on. Hope you're doing a little bit better. Lovely to see inside your shepherd's hut - you were ahead of the trend there!

[@RosClarkeCraft]

I think I was on the cusp of the trend rather than trend-setting!

Ros, please don't feel rushed... I only posted it because I have a tendency to forget where important things are

[@RosClarkeCraft]

No, it’s fine, I was just a bit surprised to get it so soon!

[@sarar8650]

I am grateful (and interested) in your silk display/explanation as I am about to sew the sides of a pincushion in silk and so I will be changing to cotton. Lovely holiday.

[@RosClarkeCraft]

Yes, I think that’s a good decision! Save the silk for something else.

I did a Long Dog sampler in Au Ver A Soie and really enjoyed it.

[@RosClarkeCraft]

I can imagine. It is lovely thread.

Hi, I'm Tammy from Israel 🇮🇱. I found your flosstube only recently. I was amazed to see the NFE notebook cover with Hebrew. I was even more amazed to hear you speak Hebrew....... how come you know Hebrew?

[@RosClarkeCraft]

Hi Tammy and welcome to the channel. I don’t speak modern Hebrew but I did my PhD on the Song of Songs, so I do know some Biblical Hebrew. Obviously, there aren’t many Hebrew charts out there, so I did my own. It takes up a lot less space than the English translation!
