I’ve always wanted to stitch a piece from Jennifer Brinkley, an artist distributed by Maggie Co.  I’m trying to up my silk ribbon skills.  Slowly but surely I’ll catch up to Aggie’s skills.  (If I’m lucky)

When I started this piece, we had just gotten Silken Straw in at the store and I was DYING to play with it.

So what’s the first thing I try to do with a new thread? Turkey work of course!

Silk wrapped Pearl Purl is another challenge I’m undertaking.  You can do so many cool things with it.  It adds so much dimension to any piece.
