I have used the takobari on my samplers to maintain tension. I'll have to pay attention and try the approach you have shown us. Martha was an amazing woman. Thank you, Tricia. Looking forward to stitching Martha's Rose from stash.Debra Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413710039217701882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426331239878441437.post-19709154400724691322024-02-26T08:16:41.708-05:002024-02-26T08:16:41.708-05:00So glad you liked Marth - she seems like she was a...So glad you liked Marth - she seems like she was an amazing woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426331239878441437.post-10243105718909917242024-02-22T16:46:47.730-05:002024-02-22T16:46:47.730-05:00Have gone through the course once and learned so m...Have gone through the course once and learned so much about Martha Edlin’s amazing life.

There is a rule that coaches and kids have to be out of it for 3 years before serving in certain capacities (judges, etc) and that is good. And truthfully I need a break. But I have been helping the organizers in our state in the ways that they really need that I am uniquely specialized to do - like training new coaches and being a safe ear to discuss things. Later I know they will pull us back a little - but they said they knew we needed a little space as you can get very burnt out. Also we had become the leaders of the pack in our region and so it was good to step aside purposely to let a few other coaches take the reins and lead too - they often talk to me on the QT.

Sometimes the former leaders of such activities get pulled back in for their experience.<br />So far, I've not watched much Flosstube. I don't need any more temptation to buy more patterns that I'll most likely never get done. But I can get behind some eye candy from places I'll never get to, and good tutorials. I'm going to watch yours! And Katie's. <br />How nice to finally have a good recording setup of your very own.
