I found out through Amy that these Rolaframe scroll frames are still being made and she's planning on carrying them in her shop. I was very happy to hear this. I like them better than the EZstitch frames because they are so lightweight and so easy to use!
I did stitch a little on "Finch Song" last night. Not really enough to show a pic. I'm just working on the hill. Lots of green! :) Write soon!
P.S. Thank you all for your very kind comments on my Riddle finish! :)
Looking good! For me, this would be a long road, but you should make pretty good pace. :D
ReplyDeleteI see that you're using your scroll frame again on this one, yet I seem to remember you saying that you usually stitch in-hand?? (Sometimes I have weird dreams, lol!) So, if you did say that, are you reforming your M.O., or do you just use the frame on unusually large pieces?
This project looks pretty and like another fun stitch! I can hardly wait to start The Riddle. I will have to check out the frames as well as the links you put in. Your blog is like reading a good book. You love seeing what will be posted next. You inspire me with your lovely stitching!!
ReplyDeleteI see your plan now -- you're going to torture us with lots of Drawn Thread finishes! Mwah ha ha! :D Looks great so far! I always like seeing what you're up to. I've been dreaming Riddle since your finish, I'll have you know.
ReplyDeleteI missed your post on the Riddle finish, but have to tell you that now that I've seen it, I'm really in awe. I love it - the colors are so fresh and your stitching is so nice!
ReplyDeleteI love coming to your blog to see what new pieces you've started. Everytime I see a new one I get more and more resolved to chuck Shores out the window (or into the WIP closet) and start something else! LOL
ooooo I really like this one :D
ReplyDeleteGreat start!
ReplyDeleteyour projects are always so beautiful!!! Keep up the great work!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're off to another great start, Nicole! DTs are so pretty--I just love the colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are so inspiring!! Love your work.
ReplyDeleteI love this Drawn Thread Nicole! It will be another beautiful piece by you I am sure...I need to research the roll bars..I like the idea and especially if they arent goo heavy...thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow Nicole, "The Riddle" is gorgeous - big congrats on a beautiful finish@ Those frames do look interesting and no velcro or sewing on the fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat chart!
ReplyDeleteThis frame looks good, Nicole. I put my "Plantation" on one this week. It was just too unruly to stitch in-hand. Have fun with your new one! Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteGorgeous start!! Looking forward to watching you stitch this one!
ReplyDeleteHey, Nicole, thanks for the heads up on the frames. I ordered a set from Amy. I love them. I never have been able to get my fabric straight on other roller frames. These worked perfectly. I see another purchase in the future.
ReplyDeleteNicole: After reading your comments about the Rolaframe scroll frames, I purchased a couple of sets of them. I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but am looking forward to transferring a couple of my projects over to them. My question is: Can you take these scroll frames in your carry-on luggage? I am traveling to Seattle to see my sister and I'm not checking bags. I wanted to take these new frames and show my sister what they look like. I would hate for them to be confiscated going through Security.
ReplyDeleteToby,
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, as I've never taken them on a plane. To be safe I would put them in your baggage until you know otherwise. HTH!
Nicole ~ I am going to order some Rolaframes from Amy. What size do you ues if your fabric is 27 - 36" wide? Do you need to scroll rods to be larger than your piece? I see on her website that larger ones can be custom ordered
