Now, I am sure this is has explored here before. I can't decide if I am a hoop person( that is what I learnt with) I like the nice taut surface, but I undestand it crushes the threads( I never left my work in it). I have done large stuff on scroll frames, but they are harder to transport and...

Thanks for all the good advice once I got my questions answered. Right now that's all I'm going to say, because I'm fuming again, though it's not at fault of anyone here. As I said before, if my other post gets through, I'm having trouble with my newsreader, or maybe my computer, not sure which. ...

These questions are not related to each other, so if you don't know the answer to one, you might to the other. First of all, a finishing question. My mom boaght me/herself (she paid for them, I'm doing them, she gets the finished product) this series of Mill Hill kits:...

I'm moving from the suburbs to deep in the heart of Boston, where I'll be going from 1550 square feet down to 850 or so. I need to reduce my stash significantly, and am in a quandary as to what to do with the fabrics. I have both quilting and cross stitch stashes. Has anyone ever sold this sort of...

I can't remember who was crocheting skull caps recently and asked for info on crocheting a circle. I came across this today and thought it was a very good lesson on how to do it: http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa082804.htm?nl=1

Looking at needlework patterns online and off, I've seen several table linens with beautiful designs that start me thinking of making some. But I have a few questions.

Hi everyone! It is me here again. Someone talked here about the fact that someone may lose her or his interest in stitching for a while. Well, the person who wrote about that is not the only one. I am that kind of person too. Sometimes I want to write, sometimes I want to knit and sometimes I want...

I liked the speech we saw the other day, when GWB said that some people commented on his bad English - but when Arnold Schwartzeneggar (sp?) complained about it he REALLY started to worry! Pat P "Fred" wrote in message ... CAUTION Do not...

the happy dance first: the baby afghan is done! it took just over 2 weeks to do - not bad considering it was the first time I did the pattern, I made several mistakes along the way and work definately held me back! VBG the question: there is a craft consignment chain here in the North East...

Here's a lurker checking in from near Tallahassee. Jefferson county actually, where we got only 7 inches of rain and some tropical force winds. Our power went out Sunday around 3:30 when a neighbor's oak tree blew over. We got power back around 8 something on Sunday night, then it went out...

I'm just venting over the recent spate of cross posts being perpetuated because nobody can seem to resist posting replies to them. THEY WILL DIE IF YOU IGNORE THEM!!! How is posting to them, about how awful you find them, helping matters? Vent over. Caryn Blue Wizard Designs

Hi Everyone, All's well with my world and I'm finally back on line. Now if Ivan will only go elsewhere maybe this will be permanent. Lots of shingles flew off my roof, and most of those around me, but luckily only hit a few porch screens and didn't do any major damage. So far the roof isn't...
