I want to carry some yarn in my shop, but am not sure what would be wanted. And because of space restrictions I will have to be fairly selective. The previous owners did not carry any since they do not knit or crochet. I could carry the Patton line which I have not seen in the craft stores Then...

It's been challenging (and rewarding) experimenting with non-floss threads, beads, and ribbons. Yesterday, I started a carousel design that appeared in Inspirations magazine using wool.... my fingers went aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh ... my brain, otoh, was/is stressing because the color scheme I'm...

Naomah has agreed to stock the hologram threads I like, but I will need to produce a sample to help her show them off to other customers. I'd like a quick stitch like a freebie or a mini so that I can do two variations on a mermaid, one with plain floss and one with hologram thread, without...

Tamara" wrote in message ... It struck me this morning what a simple pleasure kitting up is. Sorting out the fibres, attaching them to project cards, getting the fabric ready, winding yard into balls for knitting. Nice,...

Has anyone seen the contents of this book? Wondering if it would be useful for my monogramming efforts. Edna

Hi all! I added a new photo to Julie in Hondo on RCTNP. It's an ornament of Madonna and Child Freebie from TIAG several years ago with the faces over one....I'm not doing very much metalic threads after that one! =) Julie in Hondo

She's on her way home now, so I can tell you dh and I had a really good time visiting with Tia Mary and her dh while they were in town for Carnival. Saturday was a free evening for them, and it was the one night when the parades take a different route so we could get our car off the street. ...

Awhile back, I admired a huck weaving afghan which looked easy so I bought supplies to make one. As time passed, my counting dyslexia has worsened. Now I'm thinking I could use recently purchased crewel patterns. I want to embroider directly on the fabric using wool but I'm worried about...

I finally was able to spend some time on the rctnp site checking out photos....WOW! Rich - the back of your tiger - you have EVERY RIGHT to show that off! Stunning work on both sides! Julie - I enjoyed your album and flipped between it and the Hoffman site to check out some of the charts. The...

Well, a wallhanging. I have a friend who quilts, and on our 4 woman irregular getaways to Moose Jaw she loves to browse the quilt shops. Last time one of the others broke down and bought a kit. But I know myself--I cannot cut 72 of piece B from fabric 6. But they got me eventually. I bought...

Hi I don't think people like Veronica LA should be on this web site. The matter is not a quilt but a nasty, disgusting photo that is even sicker than most Prono. Please ignore the site at all cost this will sicken any normal person.

The NN catalogue has arrived, and I'm in lust. Unfortunately, I don't want to do the blackwork peacock in black silk; I want to do it in 995 rayon. And $55 is a mite pricey for a chart. If anyone else is in lust enough to buy this kit, I would love to beg, borrow or steal the chart when...

My recent finishes are as follows (a few I got finished just before Christmas) Cloister Garden by Drawn Thread The Celtic Band Sampler from Homespun Samplar 8 pairs of knitted "house" socks 2 knitted hats

I just finished this quilt and will be entering it in a local contest. My Daughter in law says it would be prettier in blue and white. What do you think? http://www.veronicamoser.com/images/mosers5.jpg
