That must feel just wonderful to stitch on silk with silk!! It's going to be quite the masterpiece when completed! I love that little Mia can fit into a pillow case.

I am getting the floor stand too. I am like you and saw this on Nicola's Blog and the Scarlet Letter SAL, which I am also part of.

I love those pretty Hexagons for your Beach Quilt too. <br /><br />No wonder that you are so excited to receive your Millenium Frame! I've watched Nicola's two video tutuorials on both the frame and frame stand, and have sent an email, asking if they will tell me when both are available so that I can order them. <br /><br />You are so brave, stitching over one on 40 count silk, but Manifesto will, no doubt, be as exquisite as all of your stitching. Look forward to seeing your progress.<br /><br />Blessings for a lovely weekend!Kathy Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098056934345001536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789554235806283705.post-66531978537874525102013-03-07T11:24:53.591-08:002013-03-07T11:24:53.591-08:00Your Manifesto on the silk gauze is going to be am...Your Manifesto on the silk gauze is going to be amazing!

I've been looking at them, thinking maybe they would be easier on my hands because you could use more of your body or something to help hold them up. Very interesting project though!

I am doing Jane Atkinson, Elizabeth Sheffield and Manifesto too. Many of us are doing these beautiful Scarlet Letter projects and I am loving them. It is going to be amazing watching your progress on the silk gauze. I am not big into stitching over one but Elizabeth Sheffield has taught me how to do it better than I had before doing the tent stitch. It really adds to the project though.

I quite like to stitch in hand also but can never get perfect stitches and so tend to use a frame most of the time.<br /><br />I'm secretly lusting over a Millennium frame and stand. LOL! As in "in hand" stitcher, I'll be interested to know how you feel about this lovely frame after spending some time with it. Can't imagine stitching such tiny stitches without a frame.
