11:30 PM 12/23 and still stitching on the client Christmas gifts. No, they're not going to get them in time for Christmas. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader/Translator www.IntlProofingConsortium.com Finished 11/18/13 knit scarf with Berroco Brio #9447 (a very interesting yarn!)

I still can't believe it! Here is more info about it. http://sublimestitching.com/blogs/news/6123042-gingers-needlearts-framing-to-close Hmmmm, does this mean I'm supposed to open a needlework shop in Austin or surrounding? There is no other outside of one up in Georgetown, TX. Wow!

My mom did this for her sister about 10 years ago and can't find the pattern... I have no idea if it's a chart or from a magazine, either. It was shaped like a Christmas tree, with the gold ring at the top, 2 turtle doves on the next line down, and so on. I couldn't find it in the Hoffmandis...

Well, I got my chart back... OH BOY! It's going to be an absolute nightmare. She did say that she had had to "do a lot to the photograph" and had some trouble picking out the colours, and wished me all the best of luck! I am kind of looking foward to it and kind of dreading it, to be honest! I...

I am drooling over the Australian Wool Embroidery Tea Cozy in the EGA class catalog. Yum! Elizabeth

I looked this up, but am still stuck. Being our resident wordsmith, can you tell me: I know that "premiere" is for a first performance I know that "premier" is first in order But can other things be a "premiere" if it's an unveiling and first in order? Boy, it's hard to ask a question when you...

Happy Holidays everyone near and far from quite a mild Canada - hey, we'll take it. :-) Sharon (N.B.)

I am crocheting some snowflakes for gifts. I don't know anything about stiffner (is there any things that I need to make the snowflakes hard at home??). I know glue is one of them. My mother in law loves crochet snowflakes. I just crochet 3 snowflakes so far (will make few more). Marcie

/de-lurking I have searched the web and USENET by google for a conversion chart for Dimensions Gold Collections to DMC. I have not found anything. I have done a quite a few of the Gold Collections and I have excess thread all carefully sorted. I am now embarking on a custom design. I would...

I suppose it is surface work or perhaps appliqué, but I just finished using floss to blanket stitch DD's Daisy (Girl Scouts) petals and center on. The troop is using felt backed with iron on tape. I even matched each separate color piece with the nearest shade of floss. Wonder how many Mom's will...

Hi Guys, My Needlework Interest Group made a "field trip" on Friday to The Japanese Embrlidery Center ( http://www/japaneseembroidery.com ) and I am still speechless! What a wonderful place and such beautiful needlework!!!! I have known that the center was in the Atlanta area but had been told...

Finally, after 5 months of blood, sweat and tears, here she is! http://www.obsidiana.org.uk/vulcan/scan.jpg http://www.obsidiana.org.uk/vulcan/inframe2.jpg The first one is a scan before I framed it, the second one a photo of the final framed piece. This is the first piece I have taken all the...

DH decided to surprise me with a sewing machine for my birthday. Nothing fancy, but it's a good one. Now I need to learn how to sew.... My first project is going to be a cover for the machine, since it didn't come with one. This is on-topic, because someday when I've learned how to use it,...

I NOW HAVE TO FROG OUT EVERYTHING I STITCHED IN WHITE! I hate blank squares on the chart. I especially hate having to read thru the "notes" section of the instructions searching for the information. I think charts should have a symbol for each and every color. If the square is blank, than it...

So glad you are home Pat. Now be good - you don't want to set your recovery back do you! "Pat Porter" wrote in message ... Just to let you know that I came out of hospital on Friday, spent the day in bed...

I should have asked this before placing the order, but I'm a trusting soul by nature... sigh. Has anyone ever had dealings with AllStitchedUp.com? Some may remember me talking about the Vermillion Stitcher Angel Bellpull I am planning to give as a gift and how I was going to use Jubliee instead...

Would someone give me sources - is someone involved in this type of Needlework I am interested in embroidery but would like to hear about any other type

Posted & E-MailedFrom: Ruthie Are there directions for making a box pillow anywhere? I am almost finished with my needlepoint, and it wants to be flat. So I don't want to do a regular pillow, but a box. I am an experienced seamstress. I have never looked online for...

Hi! I think I found my next big personal project while waiting for some model stitching. I would like to start stitching a project from Stitcher's World (Sept '03 issue) called Victorian Garden on page 20. However I would like to do the piece as a whole rather than in panels. The directions list a...

Hi the I'm new here, but a regular over at rec.crafts.textiles.quilting. I need some advice please. I'd like to know where are some reliable places to buy counted cross stitch (kits) online. I'm specifically looking for an elaborate sampler (wall hanging) and something beautiful for...
