Thanks Mike for the article in this months LCSJ, looks very useful and I'm going to give it a try this week, and hope it looks half as good as yours.

Keith, my pleasure.  Make sure you post it for all to see.

Will do.

Fantastic thread, and stitching!  What is it (the thread)?  Also, absolutely awesome work on the border stamping, looks like a serious combination of tools perfectly laid out, unless you had that thing made...

Thanks, man.  Rita .6 mm thread and  a combo of a Jueschke border stamp and a Barry King filler tool.

Thanks, guys.  Have to carry coffee for me and Natalie from the shop on my motorcycle.  This fits the bill nicely.

Rita or Ritza?  Because it didn't look like a flat braid poly Ritza thread from your photos.

Shoot.  Ritza.  Stupid auto correct.

Do you airbrush the dye or is that some block dieing technique for the starbursty thing going on? Looks rich either way. I'd guess block dyed because it is a bit irregular on the pocket toward the top but not in a flawed way at all. That border is really nice, is the semicircle it's own stamp or part of the seeded cam? Nice piece and I've never even thought of a thing like that; total utility and pretty to boot.
