I have just started my first piece using partial stitches. It doesn't indicate how much of a stitch to use - it just shows a backstitch line dividing the stitch box in half. I'm assuming that I use a 1/4 stitch, since the backstitch will be there; and that, if there was no backstitch outline, that...

Hey, fellow stitchers, I just re-posted my long list of swaps, this time broken down into 4 sections, on the Marketplace. I got no replies the first time, so... It is a long list, so I hesitate to post it here. Any advice? thanks,

Please visit RCTM for my lists. I have now posted photos to my Webshots album: http://community.webshots.com/user/alowans Thanks for looking! Ruthie in Colorado alowan atty earthlink dotty net

I see lots of pretty patterns for needle rolls - but I have no idea what a needle roll is. Somebody please enlighten me! TIA, Ruthie in Colorado alowan^earthlink^net

I have apologized before. I may not be the only rpdm poster in rctn;it may not be all my fault. His gripe against me is that I told rpdm folks how to report him to Earthlink, and how to killfile him. Report him to his ISP. Killfile him. Ruthie alowan'earthlink'net

Folks, I do not know how this evil git got to this newsgroup. I certainly didn't crosspost. Killfile him at once. He floods all the r.p.dogs and alt.dogs groups with as many as 1000 messages a day, no kidding. He must have googled me to post here. I am REALLY sorry. Ruthie in CO alowan cat...

The Puppy Wizard is a pathetic nutcase. He has been posting to rec.pets.dogs NGs for years. Posting to - HAH! He floods them to the point that what used to be an active and helpful resource for dog owners has been deserted by most people. He posts long rants, and supplies about 98 per cent of the...

I will be in Paris soon and would like recommendations for not-to-be- missed needlework shops. I favor cross stitch and other counted work. Any ideas?

May Your needles stay shinny and your stitches be tight whether you start from the left or the right. May your thread never tangle, in the front or the rear, And may the frog stay away for the following year! from Shepherd's Needle photo Happy New Year fellow stitchers! I thought the...

As I have mentioned before, I am working on The Nativity by Heaven & Earth. It's a project that is done with two threads over one, and it is LARGE. The fabric I am using is 25 count Lugana. Since I will be going to my local needlework shop tomorrow, I thought I would ask advice today and hope...

Finished "Morning Song" tonight!!!! (twirling around, jumping up and down. waving my arms in the air!!) Started August 26, 2014, finished February 27, 2015. Six months almost to the day! Next project, Heaven & Earth Designs "The Nativity". I'm sure I'll be busy on this one for quite awhile.

Picked my issue up the other day. There are a few interesting one's that I plan on doing. Anyone else get theirs? What do you think? Which one is your favorite? I have a couple that I would really like to get done this year, one is "If You Don't Believe" by Sue Hillis Designs, and the other is...

I just started working again on my Celtic Spring and noticed that THERE'S A HOLE IN THE FABRIC! oh woe is me, :( I've done so much of the piece already, over 1/3 finished and I really don't wanna start over. Does anyone have any idea on how to cover it, fix it somehow? I would be eternally...

Hi Everyone, I purchased this issue to read, (and make a list) on the airplane going home from vacation. Comparing it to issue's in the past, I am not pleased. Besides the ornaments themselves and picking out which one's I want to do in the current year, I enjoy reading the stories from the...

Read that DMC is adding 16 new colors to it's collection. Anyone else hear about this? The article I read said there will now be something like 480 colors in their collection. Wonder if anyone will be designing a chart to use all those colors in one design? Need an excuse to enhance my stash.

Hi All I've been reading through all the messages from recently but am wondering what S.E.X stands for (apart from the obvious!) and your definition of stash. Sorry for appearing a little naive, but I'm new to this NG and trying to pick up as fast as I can. Thanks
