From Kendra's blog via the Stitch Bitch:
- How do you hold your fabric? In my left hand. I used to stitch mostly in hand except for large pieces on scroll frames, but due to the influence of a friend I've started using scroll frames again.
- Floss licker? Nearly always. LOL
- How do you thread your needle? The usual way, I think. Fortunately at 48, I can still see without the need for magnification.
- What needle do you like best? Petite needles. Platinum if I want them to last longer than a week.
- Are you a needle loser? No. I'm a needleflinger. And if I can't locate it, the needle is LIA - lost in action.
- What fabric do you prefer to stitch on? linen. And my favorite linen is Glenshee.
- Bobbins or floss bags? Bags. Like my little bags better than anything else I've used. But I'm still waiting for some enterprising person to create the perfect floss storage system.
- Are you a scissors collector? The ideal would be a pair a scissors for every project. I guess that makes me a collector. But I'm very far away from my ideal
- Do you do your own framing, and if so, do you lace or pin? I have done my own framing, and I lace.
- Are you a floss floozy? Wondering what a floss floozy is...but I imagine that I am one.
- Silk? Love it. Love it. Love it.
- Railroader? Only when reaching for perfection. Always when satin stitching with 2 threads.
- Are you a pattern or designer snob? No.
- Do you get antsy when you give someone a stitched gift? No.
- Have you reached S.A.B.L.E.? Shouldn't the question be when did you reach S.A.B.L.E? In my case that would be more than 10 years ago. Maybe closer to 20.
- Do you wash your projects? Some of them.
