Another week starts...

Two more Angels ready to stitch...this weeks project...
This is what I put on the back of my stitcheries...it is called "Weaveline"....it is very light you just iron it to the back of your work and stitch...it is amazing, it gives the right amount of stability for your work with no bulk at all....so what does everyone else use??

Just love spring this is my Banksia Rose which is at our back door...just gorgeous....Back to work tomorrow after a three day long weekend......enjoy your day.

    Too bad this isn't smellivision! Does the wonderful aroma waift into the house? We have white ginger strategically planted so the trade winds blow the sweetness in when they are in bloom.

    Lovely roses!
    Weaveline is amazing indeed! We can’t buy it overhere, but I received some from a blogfriend and I love it.

    I use weaveline too. It's great.
    Our banksia rose is also looking great at the moment, it is next to a wire fence and is very big, almost like a tree! It must be old.
    What do you use to trace your stitcheries on with? It looks like a green colour in the photo.

    Its a shame the banksia rose doesn't last all year round. It is the most beautiful rose.
    On the back of my stitcheries I use pallen. It seems to work Ok. I will have to try weaveline and see how it goes.
    Im with you in trying to get more angel blocks done. See how we go.
    Happy stitching.

    Thank you for sharing what you use to stabilize your stitcheries. I just love your roses. I wish it was spring here, but it is getting cooler by the minute.

    Wow..I love your roses! I also use something to iron on, don't know how it's called. Never heard of weaveline before but it sure sounds great to use for stitcheries!

    Hey Peg! I'm just back from my two weeks at the beach and look what you've been up to while I was away!! WOW! All that stitching, all those new quilt tops - I think you're going for a new record of the number of quilts finished in a year!! Pop on over for a visit to my blog - I've tagged you for a Seven Questions challenge - good for a giggle!! Your Angel Quilt top looks FANTASTIC, by the way!! Well done! Bear Hugs!

    Your roses are stunning!

    I use cheapy muslin to back my stitcheries. Good stuff in front, cheapy stuff for the back. I had never heard of Weaveline. Will have to see if anywhere around here carries it.

    Your angels and roses are both gorgeous. I'll be watching spring usher in your flowers as fall is saying goodbye to ours. *s*

    I'm still searching for it here in Canada, but muslin is good for backing and I did find a pellon #SF-101 that is 100% cotton and can be used as a backing for needlework. I found this on a road trip in the USA. I have yet to try it. I worry about the iron on fusing and what it may do to the stitchery down the road. Such as discolour the fabric, peel off, etc.

    Do those roses smell? Wow I have never seen so many roses on a bush.

    I don't think we can buy Weaveline in the U.S. I just put two layers of fabric together.
    I call this rose the Lady Banks rose. I used to have one, but it was white. I like the yellow much better and yellow is what I was told mine was when I bought it!

    Peg your roses are beautiful, what a gorgeous display. I've read in a fe of the Aussie mags and on blogs about weaveline but never quite knew what it was. I don't use anything behind my stitching, I don't use knots and not sure how the glue on the interacing will effect the embroidery threads I don't use anything iron on.

    I wonder if we have something like weaveline here in the states.

    Your roses are absolutely glorious! It must be pure heaven to walk out and smell those! I've never heard of weaveline! Must ask at the LQS about that.

    I have a small piece of Weaveline that Lynette Anderson sent to me from Australia. I've not tried it yet but I think it will be wonderful. The pattern I'm going to do says to baste muslin to the back of each piece - I think I'd much prefer the Weaveline. I sure hope I can find something similar here in the states for all the stitcheries I want to do.

    I've never heard of Weaveline before, and I will be on the lookout for some of it here. Gosh, those roses are beautiful. While you are going into Spring, Fall is definitely here. This morning, there was frost on the car windshield and I've been cozy sleeping under my quilts.

    I never heard of Weaveline. I will either use some thin muslin at the back or nothing at all. Depends on what kind of stitchery it is.

    Lovely roses!

    Hi Peg. Still loving your angels. I usually use weaveline or if I want a more quilted effect, thin iron on pellon. Both give good results.

    Hi Peg, I usually use 'Whisper Weft' for my quilt stitcheries, but am not "thrilled" with it. Have heared about Weaveline, but haven't been able to find it here. Do you know anyone that has it for sale on-line?
    Kind Regards..Judith from Taree NSW
