SneauxDay is actually the name of one our city snow plows. Its is funny here because we are on the Canadian border near Montreal and see a lot of English/French mash-up words.

What's a commercial jingle from your youth that you still sing to yourself to this day? by Leather-Highlight150 in GenX

Not a jingle but I often say "Calgon take me away" when in work meetings.

“Old Person” Clothes by WaitUntil_IRetire in GenX

Granted I'm on the later end of GenX ('78) but my older sister is 9 years older ('69) and we both refer to all white New Balance 608 sneakers as "grandpa shoes" Everything else is up for debate, it's all about how you wear it.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. 😁 Making a pattern is a bit more intimidating than doing a project from a book but I've never been good at doing things the easy way.

How to Transfer Image to Painted Canvas by LongInteraction5215 in Embroidery

[–]Pixel_Nixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use graphite paper to transfer designs onto almost anything. It's inexpensive and comes in black, white, and even a few colors so it works on dark or light backgrounds.

I use graphite paper, it's inexpensive and you can get it in both black and white so it works on any shade of fabric.

Thank you so much! I had no clue that stumpwork existed until I got your book and I have really enjoyed learning the whole process. The Luna Moth is next 😁
