The first supplies for my Dear Janearrived this week! It was very difficult to find Frezzer Paper in Europe and i didn't want to ordem from the USA this time, because the package is to big and it could have some costume dutties that i was not in the mood to pay for! I did find it in the UK, in a online store were i bought some treads for my quilts before.
I also order some new needles. I have a variety of John James needles but i didn't have any sharps and specialy not this size. I order neddle size 12, 11 and a pack with size 5 to 10. I try nº12 westerday and i like it a lot. Very thin and very small very easy to sew with.
And i order a blue marker for my quilts, it cames out with water and i think it will be a great help!
This time i order some silk treads from gutterman for the apliqque parts of the Dear Jane quilt. As you can see from the colors i finnaly decided for the White-Grey-Pink combination, i'll show you why in a latter post. I think i'll order some more colors of silk tread along with some cotton tread in the same colors. I'll be making my Dear Jane all by hand! No machine this time! And i'll try to resiste to look at King Tutt quilting tread collection, as i really don't want to buy now the quilting tread i'll just be needing in 5 years or so!
