"Embroidery Essentials" in Carrum Downs is a treasure trove to visit and Linda is both knowledgable and very helpful. (Her website isn't up yet)
I took my tapestry piece with me and together we selected a thread for the troublesome top corner and found a braid to match. I'm a bit worried that the Kreinik braid I need for a couple of the panes may not come in time so she also helped me pick some close matches to substitute at the last minute.
Yes, I took the bold step of entering it in the Royal Melbourne Show. Now I need to finish it in time to have it framed. I have nearly finishec all the variegated thread in the window panes and now need to add the Kreink braid to about half the squares to make them sparkle.

I also came home with two books to help me with Needlepoint, a general one and one to help me with Threedles patterns. I have really enjoyed stitching this piece and am keen to stretch another. I love the Threedles designs and would like to do one of these next.
