Welcome to A Threaded Needle
There is an intangible but deeply felt quality contained in an object made by our own hands.
A Threaded Needle exists because I believe deeply in the importance of both making things by hand and of having made-by-hand things in our lives.
A Threaded Needle is an independent owned Canadian business (just me with occasional help)
I always like to have your ideas and comments, and absolutely I want to know if there are ever problems with my website, or products, or your orders. Please use e-mail to contact me, it simplifies my workload.
I'm looking forward to another season of being part of your creativity!

This is (more or less) a copy of the newsletter I wrote with a metaphor about these dolls. Since then I've been asked for the story about them, and if there is a pattern for them.
Here is the 'about' part, and at the end of it I will try to tell you how to make them. They are very simple if you don't take the task too seriously.

This is how to use this new mending tool called "Stitch Dome" to make a woven mend.
You can also use these directions for woven mends with darning mushrooms and eggs, it's the same steps.
