Hi Kathleen, Your Quaker pillow is beautiful. I also love the banding piece. I'm so sad about the German factory! I was given a blue Pony needle at Stitch New England. I absolutely love them. I would like to try the Black Pony needles as well sometime. Wishing you a peaceful trip to Chicago. xx Michelle
A friend at stitch group gave me one pony needle to experiment with…so far I like it when working on forty count verdal and I feel it does glide through the fabric easily. I noticed that Amazon has the pony needles in a pack with the brightly coloured eyes for the different sizes. 🦉🧵🪡
I agree about your assessment of the neck light. My other complaint is that it doesn’t stay in place on my neck. If I’m wearing a hoodie I can sometimes keep it in place but most of the time it slides around. At a recent retreat a table mate gave me one of her pony needles and I love it. It was a black one with the white coating at the eye end, #28. I don’t think it is the black part that snags, I think the white part is what grabs the fabric. Is the Strawberry Sampler worth a trip from Collegeville? My daughter lives there and I’m always looking for interesting shops to go to when I visit. Your band sampler is wonderful. I recently bought some of the banded fabric from a FB destash site. Happy Stitching.
Hi Kathleen, I bought Pony needles , size 28, at the Wild retreat. Both the black and the regular. I sat right down and started using them and the black ones I bent right away, 2 of them. I use the sewing method so that's probably why, my grip is different. So Pony needle #28 is not my favorite, but maybe I could use the thicker #26 size without bending? them? By the way, beautiful pillow finish!
I came here from Sunshine Stitchers. Your Quaker pillow is breathtaking! I would have never thought to make it into a pillow. Pony needles are on my list to try. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Let me know when you are in DC area and I can try to head up to In Stitches (Cathy from Stitch North). Would love to catch up with you. I have not tried the pony needles yet.
Hi Kathleen! I love your Quaker pillow, especially the color choices! And the witch looks great; I remember you working on that massive skirt at Sweata Weather!
I have wanted to try the black Pony Needles, but haven't wanted to spend the money in case I don't like them. I know, it's just a couple dollars, but I could get Floss instead. Maybe I'll get to try them in the future. At first I saw a mouse. It's Santa. I think he's coming down the chimney. In the poem A Visit From St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore (also known as 'Twas the Night before Christmas), Santa has a "nose like a cherry", hence the red nose. Those are some really nice frames you found. I can never seem to find any I like.
Kathleen your banding sampler is beautiful as is your quaker pillow. Never tried Pony Needles but would like to try a pony needle. Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂
I love the black Pony Needles. I have many different brands of needles and for the most part I like all of them except the ones that the eye of the needle breaks. Love your videos.
Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing. The Jardin Prive band sampler is beautiful. Also, love your pillow finish on One Dozen Quakers, the colors are so pretty. I have been wanting to try the Pony needles, just haven't purchased them yet.
Hi Kathleen! Your ABC bell pull and Quaker pillow look lovely! I like where you're hanging the bell pull. I definitely don't see a mouse in that Santa ornament 😂. Those are the curls of his beard. The rest of Santa's face looks to be covered by the words, which I assume are a sign of some sort (it looks like his hands might be holding it up). Have a happy Thanksgiving!
First time watcher - new subscriber. I can only see a mouse too! Enjoyed your flosstube - loved the Quaker pillow. What was the count and fabric again? Was it a zweigart? Thanks, Steph from Northern England 😊
They have fabric bands at salty yarns in Berlin, md near ocean city. I wrote to company about pony needles...if there was a different between black and white tip ...they said no just some prefer white tip for seeing the eye
If it’s interfacing or stabiliser stitchers use them on the back of their stitching to ‘hold’ the stitches in place if they are making them into pillows. Interfacing will also prevent any tiny pieces of crushed walnut shells to come through the stitching - again if you are making pillows. You would often use interfacing if you are making project bags too.

I would like the pony needle sometime.
Hi Kathleen, thanks for sharing your travels and patterns. I think Sant Nick has wind in his face, black gloves

CONGRATULATIONS on the beautiful pillow finish. The pony needles we got on the cruise I love! The ones you're giving away I don't like.

That pillow is soooooo pretty
Oh I love your Quaker pillow finish! I enjoyed your video... can you tell us what you would use the interfacing for?
