Hi Guys, OK -- I got the niece hooked on SRE and she has completed her first piece and is chomping at the bit to do more. Does anyone know of any sites that offer free SRE designs that she can print off? I told her that she can simply trace the line drawings from any of the SRE books I sent her...

The only reason I'm being cautious here is that dirt on cloth or threads, when ironed, will often be "set". So, if you're not going to wash, and you plan on misting or using a damp press cloth of sorts, make sure your piece is free of any grime. Dianne

I now need an aran knit cardigan pattern for a man . I finally was able to find the oiled wool today and now can start this xmas present if someone can find me a pattern. Does no one knit any more? No knitting shops or hardly any yarn out there today which really shocked me.

Is there anywhere on line that gives charts of alphabets? OK, so I`m lazy! LOL! Pat P Do not worry about tomorrow`s troubles. Today has enough troubles of it`s own.

There is a posting, not the first, about how you can get total strangers to send you cash. To get the $5 you post $250 into your paypal account...The last posting just asked for the $$$ and claimed it was a "service". So don't forget the other side of "service": you become self-employed and the...

I'm going to a teacher's conference in Hershey PA this Wed-Fri., (5th-7th). Traveling from New York City by car on I-78 west to I-81 south to Route 422 east to Hershey (at least that's what the directions tell me to do!)so I can stop along the way for "rest" breaks perhaps at a LNS I wouldn't get...

A cyberfriend in Australia sent me an interesting needlework kit - inspired from Kogin embroidery. I treasure it: the interesting fabric and threads. I already started working on it. Now, for the good part: When I saw the envelope in the mail, it had a large band of green adhesive tape across...

Hello everyone - My local crafting store has seemed to turn more into a scrapbooking and packaged crafting store so I am having a real hard time finding something which I would like: clear acrylic switch plate covers and similar items usually used with counted cross stitch. I can't even...

Is there a site that lists classes, shows and or seminars for cross stitch. I am particularly interested in samplers. I know there is one that is in Williamsburg, but I don't know who sponsors it or when it is. There is also one in the Boston area, but again I don't know when .Thanks!

I wonder if someone could help me with my current stitching dilemma, which is how to press a little sampler I have just finished on linen using Gentle Art and WDW flosses? It's not badly creased, but I fear that my normal method (involving a steam iron and a damp cloth applied to the back of the...
