dream maker
Dream Maker by Silver Lining call for DMC & Anchor thread.. if this because maybe the anchor is the glittery gold in the flower..
also, call for 28 r 32 ct Queen Lace (?) fabric.. never heard ofQOueen Lace
would this be o.k. on 14 ct aida?

thanks..

No, Anchor isn't glittery, but it has different shades than DMC. The fabric is Queen Ann's Lace. I forget who makes it, but it'sit's been around a long time. Mottled off-whites & greys like the wildflower.

dbye468, I try as much as possible to buy supplies from Everything Cross Stitch just because I appreciate their willingness to let us have all of this fun! Having said that, if you need a fabric that they do not carry, there is another source: 123stitch.com. If you go to their home page, simply enter the name of the fabric you are looking for. This is a huge website. You not only can get the fabric...it comes in various sizes....tons of colors, etc. I just saw the Queen Lace fabric yesterday!

I recently order a piece of 32 count, 18" x 27" Silver Moon Belfast linen from them. It is beautiful. Also, These fabrics come with ALL sides sewn with what appears to be a "hem" stitch!! That will surely help folks who do not have a sewing machine! I will use it to make "Nantucket Rose" by Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum.

P.S. Another thing I like is...There will be bright red stars next to particular fabrics people like. You can read the customer reviews. I especially enjoy those. Although I haven't done many samplers, there are certain reviews where people discuss the "ease" of using the fabric and that the colors are perfect for samplers! Also, there are comments on the new Aida clothes coming out that have a "sparkle" to them. Hope this will help someone.

thanks J & J for the help.. love these flowers; they look just like our Louisiana Wild Irises..
But, do you think it would work on 14 ct fabric if Queen Anne's lace comes in this count?

I will research it, just like your opinions & comments..

Darlene, I just checked 123sitch.com. They do have Queen Anne's Lace in 14 count, I believe in four sizes. I think that would work fine for you. Also, I took a good look at the flowers....they are just beautiful. Have fun stitching!!

does ecs carry Queen Ann's lace in 14 ct to go w/ Dream Maker pattern?
thanks,
Darlene

p.s. are the skeins priced @ .69 the anchor colors needed?
by: dbye468 on 03/18/15
Hello Darlene,

The .69 floss listed underneath the pattern are the Anchor flosses needed for this pattern and the .49 flosses are DMC. The Queen Anne's Lace is not a color option for 14ct. Aida. That color is only available as a 28ct or 32ct. Marbled Hand Dyed Jobelan. I hope this helps :)
