[@fiberjazz]

Thank you for the lovely Nautical design. Your stitching is, as always, Like a glimpse of the divine. While linen thread is rustic, And doesn't have a shine, It creates embroidered figures That are, indeed, quite fine. And while we're on the subject, Please indulge while I opine. I thoroughly adore The colors in shoreline. While some may say that linen Is nothing more than twine, With this linen thread from Anchor, There will be no need to whine. If a box of these sweet threads Is destined to be mine, I'd stitch a dozen napkins For my table as we dine! Thanks for the free designs, Sarah; they are both wonderful. Thank you, also, for your generosity in sharing your time, your knowledge, and your product give-aways. You are an amazing person! 💖 I took a look to see whether Anchor also has natural (undyed) linen thread, as I'd like to try dying some of my own colors with fiber reactive dyes. Wasn't able to find any natural linen thread, but am thinking that I may be able to effectively overdye the Snowdrop colorway. However, if you happen to come across any undyed linen thread, would you please let me know. Grazie! 😊 Edited to fix typo. 🙄

I will look out for some for you Linda! Brilliant Poem as always! xx

I learned so much about linen threads today, I loved watching your shoreline piece and even if I don’t win, it is great to know the threads are available in your shop.

Love the mindfulness of learning from you ~ divine. My favourite wellness space, embroidering and creating a wonderful shoreline 🌊

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

This turned out beautifully! I really like how you added the real shells, pearls and beads at the end! I love to walk the shoreline at my sisters place in Florida when I visit. It is my favorite shoreline for sure. But when I'm back in Georgia I take my dog for walks around the shoreline of Clarks Hill lake as we live within a mile of it. My dog(labrador/Rottweiler mix unfortunately does not like water so she stats on the shoreline and will not go in the water no matter how much i try to coax her in. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway for the shorline linen embroidery thread! It's truly a great gift 😊

Your stitching always turns out so beautifully. I certainly miss being at the shoreline and also swimming with the fish and other sea life. Thank you for your always informative videos. Very interesting to hear about the linen threads (pretty colours) and see how they stitch up. You also make buillion knots look so easy. Grumble, grumble as I use my worst vocabulary when I have to stitch some. Take care, and happy stitching.
