Ambivalent is the word - good word for someone who`s been awake all night because it was so cotton-pickin` HOT. Pat P And I STILL say, it's not hot where you are! Come here, darling! When I got off the plane in KC at 1am it was STILL 95 humid degrees... Apparently I brought your weather back...

Hi all. I've started to work on a cross-stitch and I have a question that's not covered in my instructions. What do I do when the square has two symbols in it? Which floss do I use? Am I supposed to do a stich with both colors of floss? Thanks for the help. Dominic

I have....had a tablecloth that I bought it at a second hand store. I loved this tablecloth. But that was before my washing machine ate it. Yup, just chewed it up and spit out all the little pieces. This tablecloth seemed to be a fine white cotton or linen. It ironed up beautifully. It had...

Yesterday I hit the big 5-0. sigh. There were a couple of bright spots, though. My family had a party for me on Sunday. The brighter spots among the presents: my brother (3 yrs. younger) decided that since I was now "old", I deserved an old present. He brought in a huge box that he'd picked up...

Jacquard_The_Ripper opined thusly: Hi the I have a 16" scroll frame and an upcoming project that's 16.5 W X 9 L. Can I put it in the frame sideways with the sides rolled up instead of the top and bottom and just hold the frame sideways to work? Or do I need a larger scroll...

I just got the Barons catalog and there are a lot of Hummels in there at very reduced prices. I am not a Hummel collector, but the sale prices looked mighty good to me, for example, "All Aboard" collectors had a conductor figure and "Homeward Bound" landscape for $99.98 and originally was $225. ...

Okay, here's the deal, my bff and I are planning a trip around the US next summer after she retires. In addition to the usual sights, we want to stop at as many LNS, and beading, and quilting, and book shops as we can. I have a van and we plan to only take a minimum of clothing. What shops are...

At yesterday's EGA SIG meeting, someone was working on a blackwork design for her Master Counted Thread Stitching certification which was absolutely gorgeous!!! The technique intrigues me because it's so 'clean' as opposed to my usual freestyle whatever works projects. If y'all could point me to...
