A Needle Pulling Thread Summer 2017 Sampler
This Red and White issue of A Needle Pulling Thread is a beautiful compilation of ideas to commemorate Canada’s very special birthday. Between quilts and knit wear, there are 10 projects created in our patriotic colours, however, project ideas are eternal, once they are suggested you can modify these to suit your favourite colours and decor scheme. 2017 has been for me a year of knitting shawls, it just happened this way, and by synchronicity Cynthia MacDougall designed the Double Horseshoe Wedding Shawl for this issue. This is an appropriate culmination to her posts on KNITmuch.com where she reviewed Fibra Natura’s Flax Lace and designed the Knitted Lace Stole for the bridesmaids or mother of the bride, you can get the pattern to it in her "Flax lace yarn makes this exquisite knitted lace stole perfect for weddings" post. In the same vein of exploring the Flax Lace yarn, crochet designer Ruth Forbes designed a delicately textured crocheted tank top that can so easily be dressed up or down, but it will always be very elegant. Finally, follow the journey of one artist who transformed a wedding dress bought at a thrift store into a fairy tale prom dress for her daughter Josephine. Make & Be Happy indeed, enjoy the issue.

A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD summer <strong>2017</strong><br />
Panel photos courtesy of Northocott Fabrics<br />
Designed by Deborah Edwards, Flight of Fancy,<br />
the latest addition to Artisan Spirit Shimmer<br />
is stunning and sophisticated! The collection<br />
is offered in three palettes including Autumn,<br />
Earth and Lagoon.<br />
The featured panel and full width ombre are<br />
elegantly depicted and exquisitely detailed.<br />
Complementing the panel and ombre are tossed<br />
butterflies, dragonflies and feathers. Flight of<br />
Fancy was created with the same refinement<br />
and style as in the existing Shimmer patterns.<br />
All of the existing blenders in Shimmer<br />
coordinate seamlessly with Flight of Fancy.<br />
In creating the quilt patterns, the designers<br />
should make full use of the panel and ombre.<br />
As well as incorporating the new designs, they<br />
should use the existing coordinates that are<br />
shown with this group to offer relief from the<br />
busy patterns.
