Hoping I don't open up a can of worms here. . . Has anyone seen this movie? I just got back and I have to say that was the most difficult 2 hours I think I've ever had in my life. I cried almost the entire time and at one point I thought I was going to have to leave. . . I feel emotionally and...

Dianne; I know you carry this. Can you describe this silk and it's properties. Would it be useful for crewel work and covering ground well. Where is it made? I saw it had a good number of converting numbers to match the DMC. Is it pretty accurate to hue?

Hi Everyone! I'm working on a piece that has lots of blended needles. And the ones with 2 strands of floss are working great. Railroading is bringing out both colors, and I like the effect quite a bit. But I'm really at a loss of what to do to get a nice effect with 3 strands of floss - say 2...

I'm working on a cable knit project with a cable involving 24 st. (12 st sl to cable needle). I'm finding the stitches on the cable needle are extremely tight, and get moreso as I get closer to the last sts to knit off the cable needle. This is the first cable project I've worked up, and I'm not...

I recently purchased a new book (to me) on the subject of Chinese embroidery......the bookcover has a large color photo of an exquistely embroidered vase of Lotus, leaves and blossoms in a blue and white porcelain jar. The book is a paperback and not overly expensive for the amount of info covered...

I seem to recall that there's supposed to be a nice LYS somewhere in Northern Virginia, maybe in McLean? Maybe not--I have a brain like a sieve. At any rate, I'd appreciate any recommendations, with Fairfax County recommendations being most appreciated. My mother's goddaughter (who is also my...

Just wanted to say that my Italian (two of the three have english translations too) drawn thread books arrived from Italy today, plus the Royal School of Needlework Embroidery Techniques book. I can now sit in my chair and browse open-mouthed at all the lovely stitching. The shipping was quite...

Hi Everyone! Please indulge me just a little. I work in a needlework shop and have just come home from two really busy days, where classes were being held in the shop. I have read many a post here about the rudeness of certain shop owners and hope you will listen to a little bit of it from the...

I found a series of quilt-like cross-stitch designs by Amy Dellinger at Amy Kessler Designs. I bought 3/4 of the series from the PCStitch/PatternsOnline.com website, and they've just been sort of sitting here for many, many months now. I picked one up two days ago and began to really stitch it...

Lesson 1: I'm bad at math. Despite running numbers for dimensions through my head several times, a just completed piece of 'art' is too big for off the shelf 11 x4 frame and too small (not enough fabric) for off the shelf 16 x 20 frame. Lesson 2: Wool covers large areas faster than floss. Lesson...

First a quick introduction. I'm a SAHM/WAHM with a 3 year old girl and another sproglet on the way sometime in July. I'm a computer game producer by trade but I use cross-stitch to empty my brain of all the work and home-related stress I seem to collect. Plus, it's nice to do something "girly"...

I've been thinking about this (I'm sure you could smell the smoke), and it appears this actually proved that the squire of the high pot and noose is *greater* than the sum of the squires of the other two sides. If the fight had ended somehow in a draw, then they would be equal. Brenda Gillian...

Hello everyone, this question is for any and everyone who has attended the ANG Reno Seminar. I just got my Seminar Brochure for ANG Reno 2004 and my membership approved. I was hoping someone could tell me a couple of things based on experience. How many seminars have you attended? Are they always...

Would someone please recommend techniques and materials to use for adding very plain and simple eyes, nose and smiling mouth to a knitted cuddle toy, made with cotton chenille yarn, about 5 stitches to the inch. The knitted face (about 2 inches in diameter) doesn't have enough firmness and body...
