I just got back from my LNS. She was asking me if I knew of any conversion from Crescent Colors to anything else. Some of her customers had asked for one. She figured that if anyone would know of one, it is probably me....................she knows how much time I twiddle away here. Otherwise...

Hi all. Does anyone have the floss list for this pattern- I've purchased it, but its caught in the holiday mail and Joannes has the floss on sale this weekend. Thanks, Andrea

Hello everyone I am SO close to completing my collection of Lilliput Lane patterns! SO close! All I am missing right now is the backstitching instrucitons to the LL209 pattern Burley Street Garage. This was published as a kit by Anchor some time ago and is now OOP. It was also published in the...

So, we got a new toy. After my everyday printer stopped working about 2 months ago, and my many attempts to clean the heads, finally coming down to we'll have to take the machine apart (have instructions) and try to clean the tiny tubes with a syringe and solution, and then hope....we gave...

A friend sent me tis, and as I do not quilt, nor do I play computer games, I thought I'd pass it along. www.deathbyquilting.com Olwyn Mary in New Orleans

DD and I had tea and a visit with Bobbie and her house full. DD got to hold the baby and played with the toddler. I'm off to play with a stash of prom and wedding gown cuts. I've grown more and more tempted by crazy quilting and may just have to try my hand at it. Cheryl

I emailed the link to Carolyn at the shop. If any more come in, I can send them to. She also liked Ellice's idea of pink hairdressing tape, so sent that on to her, too. Gill

I had a nice little schedule down - house work type stuff until 11 - watch " The Price is Right" and stitch, have lunch, finish the need to be done today chores and then stitch to "Bizarre Foods" other such escapist dreck until the school buses started rolling home... Now - while I do get to sleep...

I need some help from a Florida Gator fan in choosing DMC thread colors for a project that will approximate the school colors. My guess is 970 and 796, but someone with a sample of school colors will be better able to do this. Thanks, Rachel in Scottsdale

Cheryl is busy out in the yard. For the next week, I am going to be busy in the house. I have taken a week off, and rented a dumpster, and DD and I will be hauling out broken down furniture, moldy stuff from under the crawl space, and anything else we decide needs to go. My house has been...

I was time-wastin' for a few minutes today and stumbled over this wonderful old sampler. Check out the third photo down on the right-hand side of the page: http://www.shakespearespeddler.com/ By a NINE year old! And it looks like the lettering is over one. sue

Well, I spent a little bit of time stitching yesterday, but mostly I spent the day in the garden getting ready for about 4-5 yards of mulch. Which I'll have delivered. The big bed is approximately 100 feet long and varies from 10 to 20 feet wide with paths intersecting it in a number of spots. I...

Did a "get in shape" walk with DD around the HS track, gardened, grilled dinner and even got about 10 stitches done after having to frog the dragon's tail (I was a row off and it mattered). Hope to repeat it again today with a little more stitching.

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday Dear Linda Happy Birthday to you AND MANY MORE!!! Lucille

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go? Wonder no more. It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as...

First - I have no clue how I got on their mailing list, but I get auction preview flyers from a large auction house in Atlanta... Yesterday, I got another and for the first time time in ages, instead of drooling, I went GACK... So, what do you folks...

I have been asked by a friend to finish a piece of counted cross stitch her mother started but can't finish because of her eyes. It is Teresa Wentzler's Peacock Tapestry done on linen. I only have to finish the border and was willing to do it for nothing (the work that has been done already is...
