| Question: |
Why did you make this book? |
| Answer: |
Many artists are creating little books of their works. I though it
would be fun to create one using my art form, needlepoint. |
|
| Question: |
Will you sell a single pattern? |
| Answer: |
No, this is a group project. The minimum order is 8 patterns. |
|
| Question: |
Does $9.00 per design include the canvas and threads
as well as the instructions? |
| Answer: |
Alas -- no. The cost of $9.00 per design is for the instructions
only. There is one bright spot: no finishing costs. |
|
| Question: |
Will I have to pay the whole amount at the
beginning? |
| Answer: |
No, you will pay for 4 designs plus shipping at one time. |
|
| Question: |
How much will the shipping cost? |
| Answer: |
I don't know, and won't know for certain. I will ship all boxes by UPS,
so the cost will depend on the number of patterns and on the distance they
travel. It is probably safe to figure on 50 cents per design per
person (that would be $2.00 for a set of four designs). This
is only an estimate. |
|
| Question: |
There are no needlework shops close to me. Do
you have any recommendations about shops that will do mail order? |
| Answer: |
Yes. Needle Nook of La
Jolla will be happy to assemble all the threads and mail them to you. |
|
| Question: |
Do you have a supplies list available now? |
| Answer: |
No. I probably won't have a list until January |
|
| Question: |
What threads did you use? |
| Answer: |
The borders for all pages use the same supplies: Kreinik braid, pearl
cotton and floss. The pages are all so different that they use different
threads and colors. These threads include Soie d'Alger, overdyed silk,
pearl cotton, floss and wool -- the whole range. You will be able to use
threads from your stash. |
|
| Question: |
Will there be a color choice? |
| Answer: |
Yes, I will offer you three color choices for the borders and you are
free to choose something else if none of these three appeals to you. |
|
| Question: |
I don't understand why there are 16 pages but only
15 designs. |
| Answer: |
The cover design is the same for both covers (front and back). |
|
| Question: |
What did you use for ground fabric? |
| Answer: |
I did my little book on 24-count congress cloth. You can work it on
24-count congress cloth or 18-mesh canvas. |
|
| Question: |
What size is each page? |
| Answer: |
On congress cloth the finished size of each page is 4-1/2" wide x
3-1/4" tall.
On 18 mesh canvas the finished size of each page is 6-1/4" wide x
4-1/2" tall.
Note this is not the size of the ground -- remember, you
have to have at least 2" border around each design. |
|
| Question: |
How can I get a flyer like my friend has? |
| Answer: |
The easiest way is to return to my Home Page
and print that page. All the information contained in the flyer is
on that page. If you prefer one of my printed flyers, send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope to Gay Ann Rogers, 915 Havenhurst Drive,
La Jolla, CA 92037-6802 |
