I'm sitting here with the biggest, silliest grin on my face because I just put the last (at least I hope it's the last) stitch into my never ending petit point of Lord Barkley. I'll check him over tomorrow during daylight and most certainly will find that I've missed lots of stitches, but in...

Produced the following book: 20th Century Linens and Lace - A guide to identification, Care and Prices of Household Linens by Elizabeth Scofiled and Peggy Zalamea, Schiffer Publishing (Hong Kong) 1995. Lots of pictures of many different types of lace and lace embroidery. Excellent examples and...

I'm looking for a cross stitch design I remembering seeing in a catelog in the last year or so. I was a teddy bear with socks and it said "Happiness is a matching pair of socks!" If anyone can identify the designer and where I can purchase either the chart or the kit, I would be very grateful. I...

Not trying to start a war here :) I have an *extra* paycheck coming next month (falling outside usual rent/bill cycle) and I need to replace my floor frame (had an inexpensive one that broke this past spring). Also, has anyone had any luck with using either stand to hold an English or German style...

What would you recommend for yarn for a child's scarf? My little friend wants a black scarf to wear with his Batman outfits.

Does anyone still sell these knitting needles? I like the way they feel .

I know about guage, and 90% of the time, I knit right on target to specifications. My question is: I'm knitting this new sweater and the entire thing is nothing but wide cables - one after another across a row. If I pat out a guage swatch (no, I didn't make one, but that will make everyone here...

Okay, I am scheduled to have surgery on October 29. I doubt I will be able to stitch on her right after surgery and it doesn't look like anyone knows when it can get back to me, so after Joan works on it, then the next person, I suppose it will then travel back to me. My recovery is supposed to...

I hope that everyone enjoyed the summer and that you're all keeping well. If you have a moment, I'd just like to invite you to drop by and see some updated information on my site. http://www.lynnenicoletti.com/whatsnext.html. There are directions for making little 'Fairy Pin Cushions' (my...

I hate the whole "Red Hat" craze. I love the poem. Adore it. The commercializtion of it? Repulsive. (I don't use that word lightly.) The designers who are plastering red hat charms and such on any design to make it more marketable have lost a lot of my respect. I realize that many women may be...

I was wondering if anyone had done this. I'm stitching the Stained Glass ornaments and as I was stitching thought, hmmm, get some nice Christmas-y paper, a stamper or 2 with ink and adhesive (all acid free). Which finding a "Merry Christmas" and"To: From:" should be easy, wrong, I'll have to...

Does any one have the March 2000 or May 2001 issue? Thanks Cheryl (continuing the ladybug quest)

Anyone know where there is a PRETTY table top scroll frame ?

Hi everyone, Its been a long time since I kept up with this forum, I haven't been stitching for almost two years, but a few months ago I was inspired to pick it back up. One of my WIPs for a long time has been Innocent Guardian, and I've really had the urge to work on it lately. Alas, I guess I...

In The Cross Stitcher 12/04 issue, there's a neat graph called Sounds of Angels. I noticed that it says to stitch over 2 threads on 14 ct aida (which would be awfully big and un-detailed). So I e-mailed them thru their Web site and asked if this was right. Sure enough, Karen Smith (the editor),...

I just heard the weather person announce that Tropical Storm Nicole is planning a visit to Nova Scotia, maybe Halifax. Although I personally would love to have a return visit, you folks had more than enough with Juan to have to face more damage! I would like to comment that the gardens...
