Lynn, ...Janet, do you have a photo of your studio? <br />Lynn, I checked the photos. It looks like a great system but I think you also need depth in order for the panels to stack up. I don't have depth, the wall is in an area where I will need to walk up close to it.<br />I have seen the publication, I'll take a look at my local Barnes and Noble and what's in this month's issue.<br />thanks to all!Orna Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639417620046663278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627996062954105283.post-21391950073394827452010-04-18T19:13:22.496-07:002010-04-18T19:13:22.496-07:00Those were great suggestions from Janet and Lynn. ...Those were great suggestions from Janet and Lynn. I don't have any specific advice for you but if you have not already discovered it, the publication, "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" "Studios" is a fabulous resource.Front Range Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00452838228733272788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627996062954105283.post-49609890837120264222010-04-18T07:07:39.353-07:002010-04-18T07:07:39.353-07:00One of the best display/storage ideas for threads ...One of the best display/storage ideas for threads that I have seen is at Designers Desk in Geneva, IL. They have these floor to ceiling panels, 3 deep, that move to the side to get to what is behind or to the side. Hard to explain. One can see them in the gallery slide show. Go to designersdeskusa.com, their website. Shots 11,18,28-32,100 & 101 all show the system. Neat idea, flexible and holds a lot of threads.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627996062954105283.post-62176213473335949662010-04-18T06:36:15.843-07:002010-04-18T06:36:15.843-07:00Orna --

So I decided to get e new table, that would be 1. big enough for large parties and family feasts and 2. casual enough for everyday.<br /><br />What did I find, expensive, ugly overwrought tables, more restrained ones that were too small, and ones that looked like my current table.<br /><br />I ended up putting in our old dining room table and chairs and am using it without pads, so the top looks less formal.<br /><br />I hate furniture shopping because I'm so out of step.<br /><br />Keep Stitching,<br />JanetNapa Needlepointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012935643772227334noreply@blogger.com
