HELP. I am looking for a sweater pattern with a moose on it. I recently lost out on a bid for a Mary Maxim #4022 mens sweater with a moose on the back of it. I would be willing to pay for one or possibly a copy. Can anyone help me?

I have seen some tea/coffee stained items that were given a very grungy look to them. Does anyone know how to do this? And does anyone have a good recipe for tea/coffee staining?

I just got home from my local Wal Mart and wanted to pass this along. There was no big sale or announcement or clearance sign. The racks of DMC floss had ten cents marked as if it were their usual price. Normally, here in central Illinois, it is about 27 cents. It's worth checking out. This...

I imagine the stress level is pretty high just now and wondered how you were coping. During a time of holy days for many religions, it seems especially sad that there's such discord in the world. Keep us aware of your information about things in Israel, because it would be interesting for those...

My daughter is on a 3 week tour of Israel with a group of Jewish educators. One stop will be in Haifa, and I noticed they are visiting a German colony, Bat Galim Colony. What exactly is that? The rest of the trip is all over Israel and they are seeing some wonderful things. She's never been...

Vicky is finally Dr. Gilpin. She's worked toward this for a few years and was notified today she's officially a PhD. This is in education and she's already planning another masters in english lit or maybe drama/theater. Now we can all relax and wait for my other daughter to give birth to our...

I managed to get back to WalMart 3 times and probably stocked up on 500-600 skeins at 2 different stores for 10 cents each. I haven't been back so I don't know if they sold out or not. Today, my husband got a "crate" of bullets so heavy I can't bring it in off the porch. I called the office to...

I thought you might like to know what 'The Ashes' are! The origins of cricket's oldest international contest go back to 1882, when the third Australian team to tour England achieved the unthinkable. Until then, the English had never been beaten on home soil, but Australia, led by by WL Murdoch,...

I just joined your group tonight because we are looking for a pattern of a honey bee made with silk ribbon embroidery. This will go on a quilt that will be in a charity auction for Heifer Project International. Any help will be much appreciated. Virginia

Hi, For my website I made a text generator which can print a chart of your own text. Now I want to stitch some examples and I would like to ask your help on this. Well, not on the stitching part but on finding a right poem, little rhyme, limericks, a saying or whatever in English, which is not...

Hi, In another thread I recently mentioned my text generator. I made several improvements on it so now it is even more fun to use: http://www.stitchpoint.com/eng/tool/alph/_alphabet_generator.php Explore it and have fun! Grea van Vlerken

Hi All, I'm interested in taking up cross-stitch or some other style of needlework, but I'm hopeless at learning from books. I was wondering, are there any sewing-circles, or groups, or classes etc in the East of Scotland (Dundee - Arbroath area)? It may be a shot in the dark, but hopefully no...

I am new to this group and don't know if there are any stumpworkers around but would be grateful if anyone can tell me a website or other address for supplies and tools. I have a book, printed in the UK, that gives no sources. I think I can teach myself this skill if only I can find the right wires...

This is probably an old question hereabouts, but I am tired of never knowing the answer so I am asking it of experts. I have an unabridged dictionary, but it gives no defintion for Aida cloth, just 1)"an opera" and 2)"female name". Both are pronounced Ah-ee-da. Does that apply to the cloth, too, or...
