I bought the Better Homes & Gardens annual magazine tonight and am very disappointed to find that most of the designs were published in previous issues. I already have these charts in previous Cross-Stitch Christmas magazines. Did any of you discover this? --Mavis

In my roamings through free charts, I found a cute ladybug! http://www.borduurblad.nl/?id=1072 --Mavis

Hi! I have found a website with some free patterns. It has also a monthly contest in which, if you win, they will convert the image in a pattern for free! I think the site is new and only in Spanish, but I also think it is worth having a look at it. The address is:...

Hi all, this is just to say that I have found a nice website at http://www.tupuntodecruz.com. It is only in Spanish, but has many free patterns to download. They also make patterns from pictures (they have an offer now, and send you a pattern for free). Hope everybody will like the site.

I had a kit for a brooch where I stitched a piece and then mounted it in a brooch (which was included in the kit). I want to do some for Christmas and not use a kit. I have been unable to find the individual brooch findings. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!! Valeri

I'm looking at a birth sampler in Stoney Creek's February issue. I'm not familiar with GlissenGloss, but absolutely love Gloriana. Can anyone give me a cmoparison report? Helen

I know there are many in the ranks who have studied needlework history. I'm wondering if the bellpulls we now make are based on the old-time bellpulls the ladies of the house would ring to summon the housekeeper, butler, whatever. I am a collector of bells and got to thinking it might be kind of...

I've owned and LOVED several 2mm tunisian hooks from inox/prym... but i can't seem to find a place to purchase them anymore. I'd gotten my previous ones from ebay, through sellers in the US. Anymore, though, it's all UK. Which means more $$$. Anyone have any tips on aquiring some from a US...

HI, I am looking for a cross stitch pattern, preferablly counted, not stamped. About 5 or 6 years ago, my mom found a kit that was a sewing room with a dressmaker's form. She lost it and would love to get another pattern (at least) to make for my sister who is a dressmaker. Any and all ideas...

I am starting a very small piece of cross stitch but it is being put(temporarily) on a large piece of fabric that has other stitching on it. I have begun the process of basting every tenth line down and then across but have started to think about how long a process this is going to be. Quite...

Diane, I dl'd the pdf and will be printing the outline drawing and the cross stitch chart. I'd like to try the cross stitch in white on white ...............just to see....it may end up being ecru/white and white but the whole design is small enough to play with. Also, I read the posts about...

Diane, Your site-The Heritage Shoppe was /is one of the best places for stitch instructions ever, and with the revamp it is awesome! I am so glad that i decided to follow the link in your signature. ktj

Well, i am stitching away on a motif....and here I thought it would be decent looking! Ha, silly me. it will end up being about 4.5 by 4.5-the perfect size to stitch to a worn dish towel to make it last longer. Haven;t stitched enough to make every mistake in the book, but it seems like there...

Is this a place where I can ask qeustions about cross-stitch? thanks ktj
