May Thread Kit - Whirlygig
Monday, May 11, 2009 at 05:26PM I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine actually was celebrated over two days because of my daughters' work schedules.....both Saturday and Sunday. Everyone is so busy all the time, so it was good to be able to spend time with each of them. Now, to find time for all of us to get together is the next big challenge.
Now, here it is the middle of the month already and I'm just now posting the thread kit for May: Whirlygig! There are only a few of the thread kits available. Also, for those of you who have been thinking about the Winter Frost Purse, there is only one thread kit left. Click here for more the description on Whirlygig and here for Winter Frost
I also have a problem and I'm hoping someone knows of a gray permanent marked with a fine to very fine tip suitable for marking canvases. I currently use a Pilot SCA-UF black fine point marker for some of the canvases and a Quilter's Pencil for others. But, during the recent Flower Diamonds pilot some students had some problems with smearing on the very light color (yellow) threads. So I'm thinking a medium gray might be the solution. But, I went to Dick Blick's and couldn't find anything. I've looked online also, but no luck so far. Any suggestions?
And thank you Jan for your ideas on wearable items. If anyone has ideas for wearable or household items, I'd love to hear those also.
Have a great week.

Terry,
I have two gray markers. They both have tips at both ends. One is a fine point and the other wider. I'm not wild about either of them, but I haven't used them a lot either.
ZIG Textile Marker (TC-4000)
Tombow ABT (N65) This one is marked acid free
Clover make a White Marking Pen. The quilters use it to mark dark fabrics. I have also a 'sliver' colour quite well to amrk canvas.
